We is the dystopian sci-fi that all others emulate. Totalitarian states overseen by a distant omniscient leader? Check. Experimental brain surgeries? Check. Rocketships and a sexually liberated population? Double check. D-503's journals take us through the descent of a once content scientist whose liberation from the status quo brings him nothing but torment. He must decide if his love of logic, maths and trust in the Well-doer outweighs his burgeoing affection for I-333 and her affiliation with the revolution trying to overthrow the government. Wait, did I stumble and end up here on the way to review 1984? No. Orwell took liberal amounts of inspiration from Zamyatin when writing his much more well known dystopian classic. In fact, Aldous Huxley and even Kurt Vonnegut have used Zamyatin's work as inspiration. If you enjoy dystopian fiction, sci-fi or the type of satire that gets an author exiled from their mother country you should definitely read this groundbreaking novel. - Jessica (QBD)
