What’s with the smiley in the Flatland Fix citation?
Anyway, my favorite Flatland Fix is actually one of the deadtree editions. Look for the Annotated Flatland (annotated by Ian Stewart, who wrote a sequel called Flatterland: Like Flatland, Only More So!). Lots of amazing bits and pieces in there, for example, how Flatland is a satire of the Victorian-era society that Abbott lived in.
Obligatory smiley to follow.
