Tough read, densely written. The descriptions of various dimensions of space from the perspective of a square living in the second dimension were fascinating. I was a fan of the intriguing culture and history of Flatland, and the very in-depth descriptions of the social hierarchy and how different shapes moved throughout it. I was not a fan of all Flatlander women being described as dangerous, stupid, and emotional. See below quote from page 12.
For as they have no pretensions to an angle, being inferior in this respect to the very lowest of the Isosceles, they are consequently wholly devoid of brainpower, and have neither reflection, judgment, nor forethought, and hardly any memory. Hence, in their fits of fury, they remember no claims and recognize no distinctions.
Lärdomar:
-en historia i en tvådimensionell värld kan innehålla satir över det viktorianska samhället
-spetsiga och vassa kvinnor är livsfarliga
-man kan känna starkt för en fyrkant!

You know, this is like if a bunch of mathmaticians got together and decided they wanted to become authors. But all they really did is wordbuild in a super nerdy way, create weirdly intricate systems, and roleplay odd character interactions within their new world. Which is fine and all. But really they should have just played a tabletop RPG instead of subjecting us to this weird, weed-generated fantasy land of theirs.
funny
no estuvo mal para ser algo escrito por un hombre blanco en 1800 !!!
se re nota que es una crítica a la sociedad de la época por lo muy definidas que están las clases sociales y el papel que la mujer tiene en el mundo (el cual es nulo).
es interesante la verdad. te obliga a hacerte entender que la realidad de ese mundo es en 2D y olvidarte de la tercera dimensión.
