Edwin A. Abbott

Flatland är en kvick blandning av satir och vetenskap, berättad av A Kvadrat, en tvådimensionell varelse som lever i en strikt hierarkisk värld av geometriska figurer. När en mystisk Sfär från den tredje dimensionen besöker honom och avslöjar begreppet djup, öppnas A Kvadrats sinne för verkligheter bortom hans egen – men hans samhälle vägrar att tro honom. Genom denna fantasifulla berättelse avslöjar Abbott lekfullt gränserna för mänsklig perception och trångsyntheten i social och intellektuell konformitet.
