很有滋味的小说,描述细致笔触幽默。 作者对二维世界不仅有出自逻辑与数学角度的构想(比如平面国的人如何认知这个世界,如何判断男女以及不同个体,如何通过明暗变化与线条长短的配合来判断来者边数等),更延伸到了意识形态、思想文化以及宗教信仰等层面(比如边数决定等级,...
评分1、英国人的幽默感总是与众不同,埃德温·A·艾伯特1884年的《平面国》今天看起来仍然充满现实的讽喻,前半本整个就是个数学版本的《1984》,而且更加精干和一针见血。看到圆形教士镇压不规则形领导煽动等腰三角形起义,要求获得平等,觉得如此熟悉。 2、而后半本则提出了更宏...
评分一个科学寓言:有个射击运动员在例行训练,在标靶上生活的一种生物中的科学家观察到他们的世界每隔一定时间段,就会出现一个洞。他宣布了这个物理定律。整个上午,射击运动员都在射击,对于标靶生物来说,这是很长的历史时期,他们认为他们的科学家是正确的。遗憾的是下午射击...
评分 评分通过假想构建一个世界,并且通过细节勾画使之可信,这点可追美《1984》。这部小说也勾起我对许多年前的哲学思考的一些回忆,当时还和同学讨论另一种存在形式的可能性,也许是能量式、波式或概念式或我们完全不知道的一种存在。作者通过空间形式的转变,创造出这样一种存在,十...

'Upward, yet not Northward.' How would a creature limited to two dimensions be able to grasp the possibility of a third? Edwin A. Abbott's droll and delightful 'romance of many dimensions' explores this conundrum in the experiences of his protagonist, A Square, whose linear world is invaded by an emissary Sphere bringing the gospel of the third dimension on the eve of the new millennium. Part geometry lesson, part social satire, this classic work of science fiction brilliantly succeeds in enlarging all readers' imaginations beyond the limits of our 'respective dimensional prejudices'. In a world where class is determined by how many sides you possess, and women are straight lines, the prospects for enlightenment are boundless, and Abbott's hypotheses about a fourth and higher dimensions seem startlingly relevant today. This new edition of Flatland illuminates the social and intellectual context that produced the work as well as the timeless questions that it raises about the limits of our perception and knowledge. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
