Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (Spectrum) (Tantor Unabridged Classics) (Dover Thrift Editions)

by Edwin A. Abbott

Flatland is about a two-dimensional world in which geometric shpates are the main charaters. The Square is the narrator of the book and he tells of his world and his fantastic contact with the three dimensional world. Mildly amusing and though provoking, a wonderful read for everyone! Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. This eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable.

This one should be required reading in geometry class. A fun story that helps illustrate the idea of higher dimensions through conversation between 2D and 1D creatures and finally 3D and 2D creatures.

Enjoyable little book. I could almost imagine a hypercube by the end of it.
