Edwin A Abbott
In Flatland, originally published in 1884, a humble square describes his two-dimensional world to benefit the inhabitants of Spaceland, the three-dimensional realm he discovers when he is visited by a being from beyond his plane.
With dry wit and wild imagination, author Edwin Abbott Abbott builds a meticulous fantasy world rooted in an astute apprehension of psychology, politics, and social structures, as well as basic geometry. The story of Flatland, at once ridiculous and profound, delivers an incisive satire of social discourse that remains remarkably relevant today.

Most importantly, pay attention, as it is kind of like a proto-science-fiction novel, and the world’s logic swiftly begins to make sense as the story progresses, and should fully make sense by the end.
After reading this, if you are interested in initiating further literary degrees of higher-dimensional perception, in a clever novel, consider reading the epic Alan Moore novel, Jerusalem, which expands on the idea exquisitely.
Wise, inspiring, humorous, and subtle satire and preaching.

I hate leaving a one-star review but I don't see anywhere within the app that I can report a problem. hoping someone from Amazon will provide some help here so I can give a better review.

What a masterful, well-written piece this is. In an attempt to apply mathematics to the understanding so that laymen may understand dimensions. I'm quite sure I could re-read this and learn double of what I learned during one pass of this book. I think the reference to women as lines, not so intelligent but oh so emotional, made me crack up, so I assume (without reading reviews) that it was at best, satirical. I feel as though I've been exposed to something brand new - a new way of thinking. The book was not what I thought it'd be - it was much more. I think of it as one more avenue into my own self-reflection of what I think this world is.
I cannot recommend it enough, but one MUST be open-minded and willing to explore the opening of their 3rd eye. I don't know of a better way to state this. I hope it makes sense to those who are seeking enlightenment.
Mind-blown in a satirical, thought-provoking way
