# Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

By Edwin Abbott Abbott.

"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" by Edwin Abbott Abbott is a satirical novella published in 1884. The story takes place in a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric shapes, where social status is determined by the number of one's sides. When a Square encounters beings from other dimensions—including a one-dimensional Lineland and a three-dimensional Spaceland—his understanding of reality is profoundly challenged. Through this imaginative premise, Abbott satirizes Victorian class and gender hierarchies while exploring the concept of dimensions beyond human perception.
