The dystopian masterwork that inspired George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, We depicts a futuristic totalitarian society, 'OneState', where humans have become numbers. Suppressed in Russia for decades, it is a chilling vision of a world enslaved by technology.
'Zamyatin's parable looked forward to climate change and surveillance culture ... to peer into its future is to see modernity's reflection gazing darkly back' Economist
I get it but I don't like it:
"this book is a bit dull. similar experience to 1984. ugh, why do people like stuff like this?"
"It’s just finally getting interesting. I was so bored for half the book I mixed up some of the characters. I get why this is an important sci-fi text but I still don’t love it."
