Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, published in 1884, is a unique blend of satire, mathematics, and speculative fiction. Narrated by a two-dimensional square living in Flatland, the novel explores the concept of dimensions beyond perception. Edwin A. Abbott critiques Victorian social hierarchies and closed-mindedness while introducing readers to complex geometric ideas in an accessible and imaginative way. Flatland is celebrated for its originality and has remained influential in both literary and scientific circles, particularly in discussions of higher dimensions and theoretical physics.
