Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by the English schoolmaster and clergyman Edwin Abbott Abbott. The story describes a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures, where of women are simple line-segments, while men are polygons with various numbers of sides. Written pseudonymous by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions.

Enter the fascinating world of Flatland, a timeless classic that blends mathematics, philosophy, and societal commentary into an imaginative tale of dimensions.

Narrated by a humble square, the story explores life in a flat plane where hierarchy is determined by shape and angles, offering sharp insights into the rigid class systems of Abbott’s time—and our own.
