by Yevgeny Zamyatin · 2021
The exhilarating dystopian novel that foreshadowed the worst excesses of Soviet Russia. Yevgeny Zamyatin's We is a powerfully inventive vision. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity - until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and influenced Ayn Rand.
