Summary
:
An old copy of the famous novel Flatland is found in the basement of a Pakistani restaurant. The book itself is astonishing, being an early edition, but even more so is the story hastily scrawled in the margins. It seems that there's more to Flatland than just fanciful fiction -- and the reality may be terrifying.
