Summary

This book, following in the footsteps Edward Abbot's nineteenth century classic Flatland, is a cult favourite among mathematicians and computer scientists. As a kind of mental puzzle or brain-teaser, it challenges and delights, inviting readers to imagine just how a two- dimensional world might work. But the book is also a parable, serving as a cautionary tale about the difficulties of communication from one totally alien world to another, and suggesting that it is not only two- dimensional Ardeans who fail to see beyond the the obvious world before their eyes.
