Description
In We, Yevgeny Zamyatin imagines a far future ruled by the Benefactor. The state demands that people give up their own will. It treats dreams as signs of a sick mind. Green walls and a glass dome enclose a city built along straight lines.
D-503 leads work on a spaceship meant to conquer other planets. He records his daily life and work in a journal. His faith in maths helps him see this world as sound. Then he meets a woman who puts that faith at risk.
This dystopian novel explores state power and the loss of freedom. Its themes speak to readers drawn to fiction about social control. Zamyatin wrote it in 1921 as a critique of Soviet Russia. Its tense, spare prose looks ahead to Orwell and later dystopian fiction. It also warns of threats that reach beyond its own time. This edition features Hugh Aplin’s translation and belongs to the Alma Classics Evergreens series.
