'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.

評分平面国，顾名思义，是一个仅存在于平面之中的国家，只有长度和宽度而没有厚度。国家里的女人们都是直线，智力低下，冲动而健忘。男人的多数是地位较低的等腰三角形，中产阶级则是等边三角形以上的规则图形，同时还有多边形乃至圆形的特权阶层。三角形男人顶角的大小决定了他们...
