Bookseller recommendation
“Often cited as the first modern dystopian science fiction novel. It directly inspired Orwell’s 1984, Vonnegut’s Player Piano, and more. Also a one-of-a kind Russian Futurist, synesthetic masterpiece of style. ”
— Steve • All Good Books
Summary
Set in the twenty-sixth century A.D., Yevgeny Zamyatin's masterpiece describes life under the regimented totalitarian society of OneState, ruled over by the all-powerful "Benefactor." Recognized as the inspiration for George Orwell's 1984, We is the archetype of the modern dystopia, or anti-Utopia: a great prose poem detailing the fate that might befall us all if we surrender our individual selves to some collective dream of technology and fail in the vigilance that is the price of freedom. Clarence Brown's brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years' suppression.
