We (1924) is a dystopian novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin. Written between
1920 and 1921, the novel reflects its author’s growing
disillusionment with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union during
the Russian Civil War. Smuggled out of the country, the manuscript
was translated into English by Gregory Zilboorg and published in
New York in 1924. In a series of diary entries, D-503, an engineer
in charge of building the spaceship Integral, reflects on life in
the One State. In this totalitarian society, people live within
glass structures under direct, constant surveillance by the
Benefactor and his operatives. When he is not working on the
Integral, D-503 visits with his state-appointed lover O-90 and
spends time with his friend R-13, a poet who reads his works at
executions. On a walk with O-90, D-503 meets a free-spirited woman
named I-330, who flirts with him and eventually convinces him to
transgress the rules he has followed his whole life. Although he
plans to turn her over to authorities, he cannot bring himself to
betray her trust, and begins to have dreams for the first time in
his life. Struggling to balance his duty to the state with his
strange new feelings, D-503 moves closer and closer to the limits
of law and life. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Yevgeny
Zamyatin’s We is a classic of Russian literature and dystopian
science fiction reimagined for modern readers.
