<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"[Zamyatin's] intuitive grasp of the irrational side of totalitarianism-- human sacrifice, cruelty as an end in itself--makes [<i>We</i>] superior to Huxley's [<i>Brave New World</i>]."--George Orwell <p/>Translated by Natasha Randall - Foreword by Bruce Sterling</b> <p/> Written in 1921, <i>We</i> is set in the One State, where all live for the collective good and individual freedom does not exist. The novel takes the form of the diary of mathematician D-503, who, to his shock, experiences the most disruptive emotion imaginable: love. At once satirical and sobering--and now available in a powerful new translation--<i>We</i> is both a rediscovered classic and a work of tremendous relevance to our own times.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Zamyatin's] intuitive grasp of the irrational side of totalitarianism--human sacrifice, cruelty as an end in itself--makes [<i>We</i>] superior to Huxley's [<i>Brave New World</i>]."--George Orwell<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Yevgeny Zamyatin</b> (1884-1937) was a Russian author of political satire.
