Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

** "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" by Edwin Abbott Abbott is a thought-provoking story that unfolds in a two-dimensional world populated by geometric shapes, mainly squares and triangles, who are confined to their flat existence and unaware of higher dimensions. The story explores themes of social class, how we perceive reality, and the problems caused by having limited viewpoints because we find out from A Square how beings there can only perceive lines. This restriction shapes their world entirely. The story uses strong comparisons, letting readers think about how perception works and how hard it is to accept complex ideas, challenging us to think about understanding as the author aims to engage the reader and invites reflection on the human condition. **
