BibliographyThe classic book about various numbers of dimensions is of course this one, originally published in 1884.
Edwin A. Abbott, Flatland I first heard about tesseracts in the following book, but as I remember it, it didn't give me any clear idea what they were.
Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time This next one, a story, did give me a clear idea, and was fun besides.
Robert A. Heinlein, “And He Built a Crooked House” Then there's this book, which has some crazy stuff in it. If I hadn't happened to re-read it recently, I would have forgotten to mention the flat torus.
Greg Egan, Diaspora The following stories are also interesting.
Greg Bear, Tangents Finally, I'd like to mention one more book, because without its section titles I wouldn't have remembered about zenith and nadir.
Ursula K. LeGuin, The Compass Rose
