The book that influenced writers from Carl Sagan to Stephen Hawking Flatland is set in a
two-dimensional world where life exists only in lines and shapes - until one of its inhabitants
'A. Square' has his perspective transformed forever. This brilliantly eccentric classic is an
invitation to see beyond our own reality. 'At once a playful brainteaser about geometry a
pointed satire of Victorian manners - and a strangely compelling argument about the greatest
mysteries of the Universe' Wall Street Journal 'Flatland could lead to very profound thought
about our Universe and ourselves' Isaac Asimov
