This resourceful and notion-provoking work is a traditional of science fiction and mathematics, known for its clever exploration of higher dimensions and social remark. Set in the fictional -dimensional world of Flatland, the story is narrated by using A Square, a decent citizen and mathematician. In this flat universe, people' shapes decide their social status, with ladies as easy line segments and men as polygons. The society strictly adheres to its geometric hierarchy until A Square encounters a being from the 0.33 dimension, a Sphere. This come upon demanding situations A Square's information of reality and opens his eyes to the life of higher dimensions.
