Isn’t that what all sci-fi is aimed at??? NO!

90% of Science Fiction is aimed at the general public, if it weren’t it wouldn’t be so well known. “Primer” is a Sci-Fi movie for “nerds”, Minority Report is for everyone, that is the difference here.

Flatland was written by a mathematician/theologian, in between writing textbooks and teaching/researching.

However, with all of that boring stuff out of the way, I want you to know that this book kicks ass! It pretty much proved the existence of God to me high school, as a philosophical allegory and simultaneously introduced some of the basics of Quantum Theory, before it even existed! On top of that, Flatland is just an interesting book.

At 96 pages it can hardly be called a book; it is more of a Novella, broken into 2 halves. The first describing the mythology of its world, and the second telling the story.

If you’re in High School this book is a MUST! If you’re a CS, Engineering, Math, Physics, or any other “nerdy” Major in or out of College, then this book is a MUST for YOU TOO! For everyone else, it’s a “maybe”.
