Flatland

More about the book

Set in a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric shapes, the story explores themes of social hierarchy and dimensionality. The protagonist, a square, navigates a society where status is determined by the number of sides one possesses. Through encounters with a three-dimensional sphere, the square's understanding of reality expands, challenging the rigid norms of Flatland. The narrative serves as an allegory for Victorian society, critiquing class distinctions and encouraging open-mindedness towards new ideas and perspectives.
