Scope and Contents

This book is published as a sequel to "Flatland" by Edwin Abbott Abbott, published in 1884, in which all the inhabitants are two dimensional. Stewart, who is a professor of mathematics, created this contemporary guide of a journey through Mathiverse. His main character, Victoria Line, explores the "present understanding of the shape and origins of the universe, the nature of space, time and matter and modern geometrics and their applications." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The first edition also held by the Sackner Archive was published in 1971. From the Preface by Matthews: "While rummagine in my attic recently I discovered the manuscript which is presented here. Unfortunately the top half had been seriously corroded by what forensic experts assure me is black treacle, and much is illedgible. The book was clearly some sort of autobiographical sketch (whose we don't know) written in a somehwat poetical style. Footnotes had been added in ink by someone who obviously knew the author fairly well; these have survived because the treacle did not affect the bottom part of the manuscript. They are presented together with the fragments which remain, plus the original index which mercifully survived complete. In my opinion all one ever writes is footnotes to what one might have been.". -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

His pre-amnesiac self is sending him letters, a sort of correspondence course on how to be Eric Sanderson. Unfortunately, this previous self didn't really have it all together either. This is too bad, because the source of all the trouble is a conceptual shark, a Ludovician shark, no less. Soon Eric is on the run, trying to piece it all together and find true love before his mind gets wiped by the shark for the twelfth and probably final time. Steven Hall is an inventive, funny and extremely smart writer. I am a letterpress printer and a typophile, and I was drawn to his book because of the typography: The Raw Shark Texts is riddled with typographic games, codes, a flip book, and a boatload of very elegant plot devices that hinge on collisions between the Information Age and the imagination.
