We

We is an apocalyptic novel by Russian writer Yevgeny Zamyatin. The novel was written between 1920-1921. It was first published as a novel in English translation by Gregory Zilboorg in 1924 by E. P. Dutton in New York, U.S., with the initial Russian text first issued in the year 1952. The novel outlines a world of conformity and harmony within a united dictatorial state. It is contingent on the emergence of allotropic as an intellectual genre. George Orwell asserted that Aldous Huxley's, "A Brave New World," published in 1931, must be partly derived from "We," but Huxley denied this. In a glass-confined city of absolutely clear lines, ruled over by the all-powerful "contributor," the citizens of the dictatorial society lived a life of creativity and passion until D-503, a mathematician who has a nightmare of numbers, made a breakthrough: he was an individual soul. Set in the 26th century AD, "We" was a classic novel and the ancestor of works such as 1984 by Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell. It was abolished for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for specific freedom, yet is also a strong, amazing, and bright work of science fiction.
