4D Adventure
Rucker's fun novel about Joe Cube's encounters with four-dimensional space and the creatures who live there is full of sardonic humour and mathematical play. Nor does he neglect the fundamentals: there's a zippy adventure plot (with the fate of our 3D universe at stake) and fully realised, believable main characters. Recommended.

disappointing
I read spaceland having just read flatland.

I was expecting to find a popular physics book with a story acting as a tool for explaining complex ideas. Instead I found mainly a vacuous story steeped in cliche with the odd bit of physics thrown in.

I was hoping that this book might help me imagine the 4th dimension, but I found that it didn't give anything more than Flatland.
