So, finally i got my Ziltoid cd (i damn snail mail, and i love you guys 
), and after reading all the lyrics and everything, besides saying this is great great great stuff musically and concept-wise (congrats dev ), i gotta ask this: has devin read, or maybe heard about a book called "Flatland"?
It's a story about a 2-dimensional being on a 2d world, who first dreams of a "line-world", where he can see the 1-dimensional beings, and thus is omniscient to their level, and then in a later part, a 3-dimensional sphere goes to Flatland, and proceeds to talk with the square (who cannot see the sphere until it is dragged to 3d-land). Well, other stuff happens, and it's a pretty cool society critic novel (funnily, being so "mathematical" in it's way), but i wanted to ask that, has Devin ever heard about it/read it/was inspired by it, since the whole Ziltoid concept goes around beings on cascading dimensions and all?
to anyone else who might want to read more about it, there's (always) a wiki page on it:
