The idea of a two dimensional world was lifted from the 1884 novella Flatland A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott, writer William Cox wove a lighthearted comedy treatment around the two dimensional concept called The Reluctant Monster (this had no relation to Flatland other than the idea of a 2-D world).
His first novel, Vas: An Opera in Flatland (with design by Stephen Farrell) is an adaptation of Edwin Abbott’s 1884 novel Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions.
