Review: Sphereland: A Fantasy about Curved Spaces and an Expanding UniverseUser Review - Janos - GoodreadsTedious, teaching the wrong idea about how scientific discovery works, and entirely missed the point of the social commentary of the original. Asimov's intro to both was way off the mark.

It really should be read before "Flatterland". I liked his descriptions of life in Flatland and his histories and fairy tales. The math and science themselves, not so much.
