dsnygrl81 's review for:
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions
by Edwin A. Abbott
Mixed feelings
So on the surface, it’s a tale of a 2D shape who finds himself meeting a 3D shape. There is some insight that it’s a looking into classism of the time (late 1800s). It is also pointed out that this book came in at a time before Newton and other mathematical gurus. Their is talk that the book is an excuse to discuss misogyny but using shapes instead of people. Well, the one thing I can sure about is: I’m not smart enough to make a determination on any of the conjectures I read about related to this book
