Why is The Annotated Flatland piled in heaps at the front of the Harvard Coop? Partly because of the strengths of Flatland itself and partly because of Ian Stewart's annotations.
Edwin A. Abbott published Flatland in 1884. More than 12 editions are available today, a measure of the book's appeal. It is a social satire that carries readers beyond conventional ideas and surface appearances to an appreciation of new worlds--those of higher-dimensional space.
