Book Synopsis

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

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



Trade Review
The best single work of science fiction yet written -- Ursula K. Le Guin
We is a shapely work of the imagination. As the first major anti-utopian fiction it famously stood both the Soviet Union and the Wellsian scientific romance upside down. * Kirkus *
