This is an unusual book, to say that least. On one hand, it's a book of planar geometry, though an old-fashioned one. On the other, it's a fairly mediocre novel. When the two are put together, though, the result is very strange.
Rather than just describing figures of zero, one, and two dimensions, Abbott tries to imagine what life would be like under these conditions. It makes for an odd, entertaining like book, and I recommend it.
