More about the book
Set in a two-dimensional world, the narrative follows a square who grapples with the limitations of Flatland. Through a dream of a one-dimensional reality, he confronts the constraints of his existence. The plot thickens when a sphere from a three-dimensional realm visits him, aiming to expand his understanding of dimensions and challenge societal norms. Blending social commentary with mathematical concepts, the work explores themes of perception, hierarchy, and the nature of reality, offering both a critique of Victorian society and an introduction to geometry.
