{"product_id":"2940170442393","title":"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions","description":"As a satire, \u003ci\u003eFlatland\u003c\/i\u003e offers pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions; in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described \u003ci\u003eFlatland\u003c\/i\u003e as \"the best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions.\" As such, the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics, and computer science students. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story is about a two-dimensional world referred to as Flatland. All existence is limited to length and breadth in Flatland, its inhabitants unable even to imagine a third dimension. The amiable narrator, A Square, provides an overview of this fantastic world-its physics and metaphysics, its history, customs, and religious beliefs. But when a strange visitor mysteriously appears and transports the incredulous Flatlander to Spaceland, a land of three dimensions, his worldview is forever shattered.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115455561968,"sku":"2940170442393","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170442393_p0.jpg?v=1763804488","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170442393","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
