A square discovers the third dimension and tries to convince his two-dimensional world that up and down exist. Abbott's mathematical fable operates on multiple levels simultaneously—geometry lesson, social satire, and meditation on the limits of perception. The binding holds together concepts that should feel abstract but somehow become urgent and personal. Perfect for readers who enjoy stories that make the impossible feel inevitable, whether they love mathematics or simply love having their assumptions challenged.
