In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful Benefactor, the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativityuntil D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: He has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, Yevgeny Zamyatins We is the archetype of the modern dystopia and the forerunner of works such as George Orwells 1984 and Aldous Huxleys Brave New World. Suppressed for many years in Russia, it details the fate that might befall us all if we surrender to some collective dream of technology, and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom. Clarence Brown''s brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years'' suppression.
