'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.

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)...
