The classic Russian dystopia that inspired Nineteen Eighty-Four and influenced writers from Nabokov to Rand to Vonnegut.

In a glass city composed of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of OneState live their lives without pasion or agency. That is until D-503, a man tasked with bringing the Revolution to the stars, meets a remarkable woman...

Supressed in Russia for decades, Zamyatin's dystopian masterpiece prophesised the worst excesses of the Soviet Union, while creating an enduring and vivid vision of what future societies might look like - a vision which would inspire George Orwell's 1984 and many subsequent dystopias.

About the Author

Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884–1937) was a Russian novelist and journalist who worked as an engineer in England before becoming a writer in his homeland.

His satirical and critical works earned him the displeasure of the Soviet regime and he spent the last few years of his life in exile in Paris.

Industry Reviews

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 antiutopian fiction it famously stood both the Soviet Union and the Wellsian scientific romance upside down.
