""An Episode of Flatland or How a Plain Folk Discovered the Third Dimension: To Which is Added an Outline of the History of Unaea"" is a book written by Charles Howard Hinton and originally published in 1907. The book is a work of science fiction that explores the concept of a two-dimensional world called Flatland, where everything exists on a flat plane. The protagonist of the story is a citizen of Flatland who discovers the existence of a third dimension and must navigate the challenges of understanding and communicating this new knowledge to others in his world. The book also includes an outline of the history of Unaea, a fictional civilization that exists in a higher dimension than Flatland. The history of Unaea is meant to provide context for the protagonist's discovery of the third dimension and to explore the idea of dimensions beyond our own.
