We, Yevgeny Zamyatiev
I’ve been reading We by Yevgeny Zamyatiev, an acknowledged inspiration to George Orwell’s 1984.
It explores a dystopian society through the eyes of D330. Written in the 1920’s, classified as science fiction by the publishers.
The resemblance between society now & what he observed nearly a century ago is uncanny.
Read the book, if you haven’t yet.
& then read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.
& then, George Orwell’s 1984.
