Flatland

It felt super misogynistic and very classist. I think it's a product of the time, he doesn't come across as mean about it more like Very matter of fact. It made it hard to get at the heart of what he was trying to do (I think) which is get you to try and imagine what a fourth dimension would be like through analogy. By telling you a story of a two dimensional creature having to get a grip on a three dimensional reality, he's really trying to get you to understand how it is to conceive a fourth dimension. Which is kind of cool. But slogging through the classist mysoginy seems like too much to get through.
