It is true that we have really in Flatland a Third unrecognized Dimension called height,' just as it is also. I watched Star Trek TNG last night and Flatland was a B Story in the episode called The Loss where Deanna Troi loses her empathic abilities. The unique geometrical romance which is Flatland posited a world and its inhabitants that exist in only two dimensions and forces the reader captivated by the originality of this central idea to think deeply about the meaning of such a world. First published in 1884 the story within the book is about a Square living in a two-dimensional world learning about the many types of spaces.
