Flächenland by Edwin A. Abbott
A Romance of Many Dimensions
A narrated allegory set in a two-dimensional world where geometric shapes form a rigidly hierarchical society, a Square recounts the narrow-minded customs, social prejudices, and mechanical politics of his fellows and describes his gradual awakening after encounters with a one-dimensional world and a visitor from three dimensions; through imaginative episodes and satirical observation the story critiques class and closed thinking while exploring perception, dimensions, and the limits of accepted knowledge.
