summary
Welcome to Flatland, a world where the inhabitants are geometric shapes. In this two-dimensional universe, the social hierarchy is based on the number of sides a shape has. The more sides a shape has, the more power and status it holds. Enter the Square, who defies the norm by thinking outside the box, or in this case, outside the plane. After a life-changing encounter with a sphere, the Square gains knowledge of a third dimension, which he tries to share with his fellow Flatlanders. However, this newfound knowledge is met with hostility, persecution, and ultimately, imprisonment. Follow the Square's journey as he tries to navigate this hierarchical society and reveal the truth, all while grappling with the limitations and prejudices of a two-dimensional world. This imaginative and thought-provoking novel is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the concept of dimensions and societal norms.
