'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.

评分 评分 评分1、英国人的幽默感总是与众不同,埃德温·A·艾伯特1884年的《平面国》今天看起来仍然充满现实的讽喻,前半本整个就是个数学版本的《1984》,而且更加精干和一针见血。看到圆形教士镇压不规则形领导煽动等腰三角形起义,要求获得平等,觉得如此熟悉。 2、而后半本则提出了更宏...
喂饱想象力的小说,但因为是上课要求读的书,足足拖了三周看完。

评分Abbott君一定在感情上深深受过伤害,否则怎会把平面国里的女士写得如此恶劣? ps.现在的英文水平估计只能看现代文学和教科书,这种19世纪的科幻小说里头的生僻词太tmd多了,看得非常有愠怒。
