Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Edwin Abbott's original 1884 novella was social satire disguised as geometry, mocking Victorian class hierarchy through shape-based discrimination.
Kristen Bell recorded Hex after Veronica Mars wrapped — she chose this over bigger paychecks because her math-major dad read her the book as a kid.
