Her name is Vikki. You probably met her at Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott (1884). If not, here goes a summary. Vikki is just like us. Minus one dimension. She is a line with a flat-intellect full of flat-prejudices. See the similarity with us? You are about to read her intellectual adventure setting her FREE within the mathematical universe. Ian shows off his erudition updating Vikki on the various mathematical discoveries, say non-Euclidean geometries, that happened after 1884. Mathematics also supports all the recent developments in Physics, say Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. So Vikki also got puzzled within the new abstractions that the scientists are using to understand nature. Takeaway message: it is important to understand our universe as it is, and not just as you imagine it to be. Review: Fun, Informative, Playful, Educational - This feels like the kind of book I could read aloud to a child. It has the same level of word play as Phantom Tollbooth and the same level of absurdity as (and many references to) Alice in Wonderland. And despite or perhaps because of all the silliness, I still feel I’ve learned so much about mathematical concepts. It was not the same experience as reading Flatland, but I got over that and experienced it for what it was, and enjoyed it very much. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #467,164 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #60 in Topology (Books) #617 in Astronomy (Books) #26,734 in Science Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (134) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1.85 x 8.2 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 073820675X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0738206752 | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | April 1, 2002 | | Publisher | Basic Books | ## Images ![Flatterland: Like Flatland, Only More So - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GnTS95kSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delightful fiction to set you FREE in the mathematical universe *by R***S on May 22, 2020* We are in 2008, Ian just invited a citizen from flatland to visit some other geometries.

It has the same level of word play as Phantom Tollbooth and the same level of absurdity as (and many references to) Alice in Wonderland. And despite or perhaps because of all the silliness, I still feel I’ve learned so much about mathematical concepts. It was not the same experience as reading Flatland, but I got over that and experienced it for what it was, and enjoyed it very much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review - Flatterland *by S***E on August 11, 2011* I definately enjoyed this book and I think it was a very good attempted sequel to the brilliant Flatland. In essence the book follows a descendent of A. Square (he is disgraced and locked in a psyche ward). After a night were her parents were constantly harasing her she is visited by a multi-dimensional being much like Square was in the original. Here is where it parallels. The character in conjunction with her multi-dimensional guide shows her theoretical mathematical notions and "worlds" that little is known of or that is generally thought to be impossible. The book hits on many advanced notions of math, and is definately not an easy read for someone with an interest in math. I took off 1 star for the following reasons. (1) Some of the math is very difficult to understand and is very advanced for the casual reader. While I guess it does make sense to do it this way since theory of the 3rd dimension (sphere) was not known or believed in during Abott's day. (2) The book certainly does not have the same ingenius level of political satire and commenatry as the original. Flatland was filled with social and political commentary and accusations of government coverups as well as social inequality during 1800s England and this books does not even even come close in doing this in any spirit. Again, I guess the author knew his limitations and this makes sense. This book is definately a great read and is really really interesting. Some parts of it can be very hard to get through as the math can get very murky and in depth. The book is definately a very fast read and the ending is quite good. The overall spirit of Flatland is present in this book, but I definately recommend reading the original one before reading this one to get a hang of whats going on to some tangential degree. Definately get this book, I am glad I read it and I loved it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/2595694-flatterland-like-flatland-only-more](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/2595694-flatterland-like-flatland-only-more) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
