by Evgeny Zamyatin

βGoodreads 3.9/5
------------------------------------------------
β‘οΈ The exhilarating dystopian novel that inspired George Orwell's 1984 and foreshadowed the worst excesses of Soviet Russia
------------------------------------------------
About:
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. It remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction.
