In this episode we dive into Edwin A. Abbott's classic 1884 novel, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. We explore the bizarre world of honourable Square and the society he inhabits, a world of two dimensions that holds up a mirror to our own.What you’ll learn in this episode:How Abbott uses the seemingly simple concept of a flat world to create a witty social satire of Victorian-era class structure. We'll discuss the book's core themes of open-mindedness and the dangers of dogmatic belief, as we consider what it means to question the very dimensions we perceive as reality.Ready to question everything?
