We

About this book

Before Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World, there was We. In the glass city of the One State, chance has been eliminated, happiness is manufactured through discipline, and people are known only by numbers under constant surveillance. D-503, the engineer building the spacecraft Integral, believes completely in the mathematical perfection of this order—until the mysterious I-330 awakens in him forbidden desire, imagination, and doubt. As he ventures beyond the Green Wall separating civilization from the wild, D-503 discovers that the greatest danger is not an external enemy but the birth of something the State cannot calculate: a soul. Yevgeny Zamyatin's foundational dystopian novel is a powerful meditation on freedom, conformity, and the irreducible unpredictability of being human.
