FLATLAND: a novel of many dimensions

Planilandia is a two-dimensional world, in which its inhabitants (flat geometric figures) are unable to look up or down to realize their limitations. The ruling elite, a relatively self-satisfied upper class, imposes this narrow-mindedness and punishes anyone who questions the social hierarchy or speaks of a third dimension. We are talking about a novel that is 130 years old, and when it was written, the theory of relativity had not been formulated, quantum mechanics was totally unknown and without any physicist or mathematician had the courage to challenge Euclidean geometry and imagine geometries Space curves, far from infinite dimensionality.
