Flatland: The Movie Edition by Edwin A. Abbott
4.0
Flatland is a brilliant satire, mostly on the (then present) Victorian society, but it still is very relevant in our time. Discrimination and suppression, attacking and rebelling against a set system of beliefs imposed by the ruling classes of a society, these are still very hot topics and the author covers them quite nicely, especially in a time where beliefs were not so shakeable as they are (thought of) today.
Flatland is a well constructed reality with accurate explanations which guide you fluently throughout the story of A. Square. The only point of criticism I have, although very minor, is the rather outdated english of the mid 19th century. Seeing as mr. Abbott was, amongst a lot of other things, an english teacher, it clearly shows ;) But a real nice read, I loved it!
