Topic: Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland - a romance of many dimensions

http://www.alcyone.com/max/lit/flatland/

A must read for anyone who's not read it. Describes a two dimensional universe and suggests with analogy the naivity and ignorance of any conscious being who presumes that he's in the highest spatial dimension.

Cheers,

Johnny

I bought it recently, haven't gotten to it yet, thanks for the heads up!

So many books, so little time...
