Flatland
by Edwin Abbott

Introduction

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a two-dimensional world? How would one move? What would one see while one was there? How would society be structured? Edwin Abbott gives us the answer in his "Romance of Many Dimensions." But Abbott is after more than this (the great writers always are). As readers follow A. Square through his trials and troubles they may begin to see their three-dimensional world in a new light.
