Unfair to Niven

All the other authors get their most well-known work listed, but Niven gets Flatland! This means that any one that's read a few Niven books, but not much else on the list, will overlook that option and vote for something else. Ringworld would have been a better option.

Ignore me, I'm talking shite.

??? Flatland was written in the 19th century by Edwin A. Abbott. It's a mathmatical textbook hidden inside a cute story. I don't know where Niven comes into this. ---- I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident. -- Schemer Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply]

Larry Niven wrote a story called Flatland, part of his Known Space arc. I presume the OP hasn't ever heard of the more famous Flatland...	[reply]
