In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful \u0026#39;Benefactor\u0026#39;, 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\u0026#39;s 1984 and Aldous Huxley\u0026#39;s Brave New World. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. Clarence Brown\u0026#39;s brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years\u0026#39; suppression.","author_name":"Yevgeny Zamyatin","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/yevgeny-zamyatin","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/edition/13352426/32c0fa928528193a47e9edb472fff968577b1146.jpeg","thumbnail_width":327,"thumbnail_height":500}
