We

1984. Brave New World. A Clockwork Orange. These are the dystopian novels we know. But before these was the Russian masterpiece We, the novel that foreshadowed and influenced them all. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled by the all-powerful "Benefactor," the nameless citizens of OneState live without passion or creativity, regulated and watched by their totalitarian masters. Without such order, their leaders claim, happiness is impossible. Freedom brings misery. And the collective "we" is all that matters. But one day, D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul.
