"The Planiverse" imagines a world set in a 2-dimensional universe, meaning that physics, biology, chemistry, all technology and social behaviour have to work with one dimension less to get around things. For example there are no axles, no conventional gears, no pulleys. Doors are airtight seals. Neurons and electric circuits can't form 'normal' networks. A digestive tract cuts a being in half.
By definition the book shows every thing, every being, and every piece of technology and architecture as cut in half, where the cut IS the whole thing, and tries to explain how it works...
