Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott.Writing pseudonymously as "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions.Several films have been made from the story, including the feature film Flatland (2007). Other efforts have been short or experimental film...

Flatland, a place of two dimensions peopled by a hierarchy of geometrical forms, is the home of narrator A. Square, who takes a tour of his bizarre homeland. This tour provides a hilarious satire on Victorian society with questions about the nature of the universe.

Flatland follows the journeys of A. Square, a mathematician and resident of the two-dimensional Flatland, where women - thin, straight lines - are the lowliest of shapes, and where men may have any number of sides, depending on their social status.Through strange occurrences that bring him into contact with a host of geometric forms, Square has adventures in Spaceland (three dimensions), Lineland (one dimension) and Pointland (no dimensions) and ultimately entertains thoug...

Flatland is uniquely both a social critique and a primer on multi-dimensional geometry. Written in two parts in 1884 by Edwin A. Abbott, an English mathematician and theologian, it tells the story of a square living in Flatland: a two-dimensional realm. After a dream of a restrictive one-dimensional existence and the difficulties this poses, he is visited by a sphere from a three-dimensional space who wishes to enlighten him into the ways of "Upward, yet not Northward."Edw...

In Flatland, society is rigidly structured, and individuals' social status is determined by the number of sides they possess. Circles represent the highest social class, followed by polygons, and squares like the narrator occupy a lower position. The society strictly adheres to geometric rules and norms.The story begins when the narrator, A Square, receives a visit from a Sphere from the three-dimensional world of Spaceland. The Sphere introduces A Square to the idea of a third dimension, ...
