We by Eugene Zamiatin

Originally banned in the Soviet Union, We is a prophetic and unsettling novel that envisions a future where the state dictates every aspect of life. Citizens live under total surveillance, are stripped of personal identity, and are assigned numbers instead of names. D-503, a loyal engineer of the One State, finds himself torn between duty and desire when he encounters the mysterious I-330, who introduces him to a world beyond the rigid laws of the system.

Written in 1921, We is a stark warning about the dangers of collectivism, state-engineered conformity, and the erosion of free will. A must-listen for fans of dystopian literature.


Key Lessons & Themes:

  • chilling vision of a totalitarian dystopia that laid the foundation for Brave New World and 1984.
  • The battle between individuality and state control in a world ruled by logic and surveillance.
  • The dangers of unchecked technocracy and the loss of human emotion in a hyper-regulated society.
