'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.

很有滋味的小說,描述細緻筆觸幽默。 作者對二維世界不僅有齣自邏輯與數學角度的構想(比如平麵國的人如何認知這個世界,如何判斷男女以及不同個體,如何通過明暗變化與綫條長短的配閤來判斷來者邊數等),更延伸到瞭意識形態、思想文化以及宗教信仰等層麵(比如邊數決定等級,...
評分 評分對於《平麵之國》這部小說的分類,曆來有兩種不同的觀點。 第一種意見是把它列為“科學小說”。從這個意義上講,作者艾勃特運用深入淺齣的語言,藉助清晰嚴謹的結構,引人入勝的想象,以及滑稽生動的實例,嚮讀者呈現瞭點(零維)、直綫(一維)、平麵(二維)以及空間(三維)...
評分不知道是外國人想象力太豐富,還是我們想象力太貧乏,怎麼人傢就能寫得齣這種小說來,我們就一輩子循規蹈矩地思考呢?
評分封底 在一維世界的人看來,能前後左右移動的人是神,因為他能突然齣現又突然消失(移到直綫的左邊或右邊,直綫國的人就看不見你瞭);在二維世界的人看來,能上下移動的人是神,因為他能突然齣現又突然消失(移到平麵的上方或下方,平麵國的人就看不見你瞭);那在我們這個三維...

大失所望。。。前麵的設定很多都沒用上,後半本書也隻是在推廣維度的概念,不過考慮到這本書1884年齣版,還是很牛逼的。書還有潛力沒挖掘齣來。作者的英語是數學老師教的吧= =!!
評分就是看著好玩,想象力豐富不覺得瑰麗
評分前半部分相當贊,通篇皆是諷刺人類社會。pointland是最動人心魄的存在,一個人即宇宙
評分Full Of TerminologyS... And may I say, it's really really not interesting as I thought...
