Edwin Abbott Abbott (Flatland)

Edwin Abbott Abbott was a British teacher and theologian best known for his book *Flatland*, a fictional story set in a two-dimensional world. The book uses this imaginative setting to explore concepts of dimension, perspective, and societal hierarchy. In Flatland, shape and size determine social status, highlighting the limitations of understanding higher dimensions. Abbott’s work encourages readers to think about complex ideas like dimensions and perception beyond everyday experience, serving as both a satire of Victorian society and a philosophical exploration of how we perceive reality.
