About this book
In a world where the state dictates every facet of existence, "We" by Evgenii Ivanovich Zamiatin explores the chilling consequences of absolute conformity. As D-503, a mathematician and architect of the spaceship Integral, chronicles life in the United State, the tension between individuality and collectivism emerges. This dystopian narrative delves into the suppression of personal freedoms, highlighting the stark contrast between the unyielding state and the yearning for unalienable rights. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, "We" serves as a profound reflection on the dangers of totalitarianism and the quest for self-identity. Zamiatin’s work remains a vital commentary on the fragility of freedom in the face of oppressive regimes.
