A Good Book - Public Domain

     

    Since I am slow at tatting, I am posting other stuff too. (But my speed is somewhat returning!)

    I am re-reading a really good book, shown above. Flatland was written over 100 years ago (1884), but it is easy to read since it is not 1600's English. It is a mind bender. If you know the difference between 2 dimensions (2D) and 3 dimensions (3D), then you can read this. It is about a 2D "person" that discovers the 3D world. It really is about perspective. 

When you think that we are so advanced in our technology and understanding of the world, then find out that people way before us were this advanced, it does blow my mind, and probably yours too. Give it a read. 

You can download the audiobook here: https://archive.org/details/Flatland_Book .

A copy of the book (I like PDF) is here: https://archive.org/details/flatland_202012. 

Oh, the movie is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avMX-Zft7K4
