“FLATLAND, first published in 1884, is the story of a square who takes a trip into higher dimensions. A century has passed and people are still talking about it. The author of Flatland was a Victorian schoolmaster named Edwin Abbott Abbott. Given the curious fact that his middle and last names were identical, it seems possible that Abbott might have been nicknamed Abbott Squared or A Squared. Thus, it may be that Abbott felt a considerable degree of identification with A Square, the hero of Flatland. “
