Book Description

An odd, amusing and still provocative fantasy. The narrator is a Square who lives in a world of two dimensions, and whose vision of a third gets him into grave trouble with the authorities.

I didn't find this book nearly as charming as the book's introduction seemed to think I would. It would have been a good read back in like, high school geometry or something, to really be able to picture all the shapes and dimensions. Otherwise I honestly don't see a lot of point to it.

This book helped expand my mind. I was first introduced to the book in a philosophy class in college.
