Summary
Flatlandia: Racconto fantastico a più dimensioni (Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions) è un romanzo fantastico-fantascientifico del 1884 scritto da Edwin Abbott Abbott. Narra la vita di un quadrato, abitante di un ipotetico universo bidimensionale, che entra in contatto con l'abitante di un universo tridimensionale. È un racconto molto popolare tra gli studenti di matematica e più in generale tra gli studenti di facoltà scientifiche, perché affronta da un punto di vista molto originale il concetto di un mondo a più dimensioni.
