About this listen
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.

So glad I read it
I'd heard of it, but never had a chance to read it until I stumbled on it on the Audible list. It's an absolute classic. The author was a genius to have thought of the idea and to have executed it so well. Philosophically - spot on. He targets probably the biggest challenge to mankind - how to step out of the thinking framework that you've inherited.

Very Clever
I really enjoyed this book. A very witty philosophical take on society, and what happens if you dare to think outside the ideas and thoughts you have inherited.
