Flatland
About This Novel
"Flatland" was first published in 1884. At that time, the industrial revolution had not yet been completed and modern physics was nowhere to be seen. However, the book had already begun to imagine dimensional space, more than 100 years before "Three Body" discussed the issue of dimensions. Since its publication, it has inspired countless masters and literary creations, been adapted into animation four times, and appeared in popular culture fields such as the movie "Interstellar" and the TV series "Star Trek". Its popularity is evident. ? This is a memoir written by Square, a resident of Flatland. The memoir is divided into two parts. The first part talks about "my country". The two-dimensional square shows his country to us three-dimensional people, including the social structure, climatic conditions, historical events, etc. Of the flat country. The second part talks about "his country". The square is visited by the "celestial sphere" of the same kind in the third dimension, and has the honor to travel with it. The country - the country of straight lines, the country of space and even the country of points. This opened up the mind, made a leap in thinking, and upgraded the cognition. As a result, he was imprisoned. He left this masterpiece in prison in the hope that those of us "citizens of the sky" who are lucky enough to read it will not be limited by dimensions, and explore infinite possibilities while upholding humility.

Very imaginative and very sarcastic
Especially the section from three to four dimensions One's own limitations require constant reflection
An ordinary yet strange world, regular yet deformed, normal yet chaotic world
I read an employee code of conduct and job responsibilities, and the replacement formula between dots, lines and surfaces.
Books worth reading
It can trigger a lot of thinking, especially what four dimensions, five dimensions, and higher dimensions are like
