Has anyone besides me ever actually read this book? If you have then yay, if you have not read this book I have a message (or two) for you: READ FLATLAND! Also, you are a poor, deprived child and you need to READ FLATLAND dramallama

What is it about?

It's about a two dimensional world and all of the inhabitants. Abbot goes into the hierarchy of the world, but he also examines geometry by introducing a one-dimensional, zero-dimensional, three-dimensional, and briefly delving into the fourth-dimension of geometry. There's not much of a story, exactly, but it is still really great. it is a theoretical examination of things and how they work in these conditions.

It sounds really interesting and different. I've never really heard of anything like that.
