I'd add to the mix, the Planiverse : computer contact with a 
two-dimensional world by A.K. Dewdney.

While Flatland had an initial impact on me as a kid, Planiverse dealt 
with the practicalities of a 2D world, such as how a lock would work, 
or how creatures would move past each other. Very cool.
