What Hacker News says
- I highly recommend a book called "Spaceland" by Rudy Rucker. It's like a modern take on "Flatland". In it a Silicon Valley hotshot gets visited by a 4th dimensional entity called Momo.
He also wrote a book called "The 4th dimension" which explores the concept historically and in various ways.
- You should read Spaceland by Rudy Rucker. It’s a hilarious 4D riff on Flatland. A venture capitalist in Silicon Valley gets harassed by a 4D monster called Momo
- A related book you may find interesting is "Spaceland" by Rudy Rucker - it's set in Silicon Valley during the dot-com boon - a tech executive get's a visit from the 4th dimension. It's a hilarious and modern update to Flatland.
- For a visceral and entertaining exploration of what a literal fourth spatial dimension might be like from our perspective, try Rudy Rucker's hilarious 'Spaceland'.
'In a tribute to Edwin Abbott's Flatland, a classic mathematical fantasy about a 2-dimensional being (A. Square) who receives a surprise visit from a higher-dimensional sphere, Rudy Rucker's Spaceland describes the life of Joe Cube, an average, modern-day Silicon Valley hotshot who one day discovers the fourth dimension from an unexpected visitation. Spaceland contains scenes that are violent and sexual in nature as well as suggestive illustrations.'
