NP: Flat(not Line)land

[kelber at mindspring.com]

The book is great. [SPOILER ALERT ] It's about a square who lives in a 2-dimensional, authoritarian society.  He's visited by a sphere, who helps him deduce the properties of the 3-dimensional world.  When the square attempts to explain his ideas to the Flatland elite, he becomes a heretic.  It's a short book, half story, half philosophical treatise.  The trailer sucks.
