Description
In a future where human wills are subjugated to the state's requirements, a society is built around the all-powerful Benefactor. In this sterile world, dreams are seen as a sign of mental illness and conformity is enforced. A spaceship is being constructed to conquer new planets, its chief engineer D-503 keeping a journal of his life. But when he encounters a woman, everything begins to unravel. Written in a direct and concise style, Yevgeny Zamyatin's novel is a powerful critique of Soviet Russia and a precursor to the dystopian genre. This translation by Hugh Aplin presents a gripping portrayal of a society on the brink of collapse. A seminal work of 20th-century literature, We offers a haunting vision of a future that may still be unfolding before us.
