About this listen

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott is a satirical novella that explores dimensions through the lens of a two-dimensional world. The story follows A. Square, a resident of Flatland, who discovers the existence of a third dimension when visited by a Sphere from Spaceland. As he struggles to comprehend higher dimensions, he faces resistance from his rigid, class-based society. Abbott cleverly critiques Victorian social hierarchy and limited perspectives while introducing readers to mathematical concepts of dimensions, making Flatland both a fascinating philosophical allegory and an early exploration of higher-dimensional geometry.
