Set in a fictional two-dimensional world, the novella explores social hierarchy through the eyes of a character known as "a square." It satirizes Victorian culture while providing profound insights into the concept of dimensions. Celebrated by students in mathematics, physics, and computer science, it serves as a foundational text for understanding dimensions, with Isaac Asimov praising it as an exceptional introduction to the topic. The blend of social commentary and mathematical exploration makes this work a unique and enduring classic.
