Description

We by Evgeniĭ Ivanovich Zami︠︑tin and Yevgeny Zamyatin is a dystopian novel that explores the consequences of state control. In this clean, blue city state, nature, privacy, and individual liberty have been eradicated, leaving citizens in a condition of 'mathematically infallible happiness'. D-503's diary reveals a world where love and rebellion are unthinkable, yet he finds himself drawn to these forbidden activities. Banned on its publication in Russia in 1921, We has become chillingly relevant once again. This novel is a satire on state control that challenges the notion of a society where individual freedom is sacrificed for the collective good. A thought-provoking and unsettling read, We is a worthwhile read for those interested in dystopian fiction and the consequences of totalitarian regimes.
