    I forget where I heard this but someone mentioned that a 4-dimensional being could mirror you. Doesn’t sound so bad until you realize your amino acids & stuff would all be the opposite chirality, which means you could no longer process food.

      This, the mirroring part, also happens in an Arthur C. Clarke short story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_Error

      Mass Effect has a similar idea. There are species that eat levo foods and ones that eat dextro foods.

    This is a comic adaptation of the 1884 (that’s not a typo) Flatland, but in the book, instead of rotating, they explain the concept of the next higher dimension. Similar result. Good book, nails the social satire of sexism (remains relevant today).
