''The best single work of science fiction yet written'' Ursula K. Le Guin

Description

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
