'Upward, yet not Northward.' How would a creature limited to two dimensions be able to grasp the possibility of a third? Edwin A. Abbott's droll and delightful 'romance of many dimensions' explores this conundrum in the experiences of his protagonist, A Square, whose linear world is invaded by an emissary Sphere bringing the gospel of the third dimension on the eve of the new millennium. Part geometry lesson, part social satire, this classic work of science fiction brilliantly succeeds in enlarging all readers' imaginations beyond the limits of our 'respective dimensional prejudices'. In a world where class is determined by how many sides you possess, and women are straight lines, the prospects for enlightenment are boundless, and Abbott's hypotheses about a fourth and higher dimensions seem startlingly relevant today. This new edition of Flatland illuminates the social and intellectual context that produced the work as well as the timeless questions that it raises about the limits of our perception and knowledge. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分大失所望。。。前麵的設定很多都沒用上，後半本書也隻是在推廣維度的概念，不過考慮到這本書1884年齣版，還是很牛逼的。書還有潛力沒挖掘齣來。作者的英語是數學老師教的吧= =！！
评分前半部分相當贊，通篇皆是諷刺人類社會。pointland是最動人心魄的存在，一個人即宇宙
