We
<b>“[Zamyatin’s] intuitive grasp of the irrational side of totalitarianism— human sacrifice, cruelty as an end in itself—makes [<i>We</i>] superior to Huxley’s [<i>Brave New World</i>].â€â€”George Orwell<br><br>Translated by Natasha Randall • Foreword by Bruce Sterling</b><br>  <br> Written in 1921, <i>We</i> is set in the One State, where all live for the collective good and individual freedom does not exist. The novel takes the form of the diary of mathematician D-503, who, to his shock, experiences the most disruptive emotion imaginable: love. At once satirical and sobering—and now available in a powerful new translation—<i>We</i> is both a rediscovered classic and a work of tremendous relevance to our own times.
