Geometry offers a strange doorway: a fourth dimension, as invisible to us as depth is to a flatlander. W. Whately Smith walks through it carefully, using higher space to frame questions about consciousness and what might survive bodily death. A speculative bridge between mathematics and psychical research, built chapter by patient chapter. Peer around the corner of space.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
