  1. My Flatland History

    I first read it in high school as a math project. Later, in college as a commentary on social norms for a liberal arts class; a totally different zeitgeiss.

    And so, it is recommended for the uninitiated. I profited and learned much from it. “Flatland” was also made into a movie in 2007.
