Abstract

Written in 1921, We was published in Continental Europe. It circulated around the Soviet Union as part of clandestine literature. We is the on-paper diaristic testimony of an inhabitant of One State who lives in a hypertechnological glass-enclosed city. Zamyatin uses the futuristic paraphernalia of the time disclosed in a totalitarian context.
