Summary
《平面国》（英语：Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions）是英国教师埃德温·阿伯特·阿伯特一本出版于1884年的讽刺中篇小说。阿伯特借由此书中虚构的二维空间平面国国民“正方形”一角来表达对于维多利亚时代阶层制度的尖锐评论。然而，这本中篇小说更长远的贡献是对于维度的审视。在本书众多版本中有一段名科幻作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫写的序言评道，《平面国》是“一个人所能找到对于维度概念的感受方法中最好的”（The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions）。本书因而仍旧受数学、物理学和电脑科学的学生所喜爱。另外，已有几部电影改编自此书。
