Set in the 26th century A.D., Yevgeny Zamyatin's masterpiece describes life under the regimented totalitarian society of OneState, ruled over by the all-powerful "Benefactor." Recognized as the inspiration for George Orwell's 1984, We is the archetype of the modern dystopia, or anti-Utopia: a great prose poem detailing the fate that might befall us all if we surrender our individual selves to some collective dream of technology and fail in the vigilance that is the price of freedom. Clarence Brown's brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than 60 years' suppression.

Prescient. Can really see how it influenced Orwell and Huxley. It’s a little zany but good.

Worth a listen.

I think its possible to acknowledge the importance of a novel within the context of the genre and time that it was written while still being horrendously bored as a modern reader. This was very similar to Don Quixote for me

interesting thoughts, boring read
