An interesting book. The whole discussion of color left me with the question of whether the author disliked diversity or was doing a parody of sameness. Flatland reminds me of metaphysical systems like the Hegel, interesting to look at but completely devoid of the real world.
Strange, mind-bending. Best classic piece of literature I've came across, as of January 2015. :)

Every nerd/geek or even a mathematics enthusiast would have, at least, heard about the famous essay Flatland: A romance of many dimensions. I read it a while ago myself. The internet too is filled with its praises and extolling reviews.
Sadly, for me this "land" just does not make sense and I'll explain why.

First of all this book was not an easy read for me. I don't know if it was because of the age of the writing style, the arguments by Square, the descriptions, or exactly what it was. I really wanted to like it more but I just could not. I did read the annotated version by Ian Stewart which did liven it up. The book did peak my interest in researching higher dimensions such as the 4th and 5th.
