Book excerpt: ✓ "We by Yevgeny Zamyatin best predict and outline the techno-surveillance system that has already begun to take hold in the U.S. and beyond." - Noam Chomsky. ✓ "One of the literary curiosities of this book-burning age." - George Orwell. Plot: On an Earth several hundred years in the future, D-503, the chief engineer who is working on a project that will see the beginning of the conquest of other planets, is watched constantly by the Secret Police. These agents of the One State are dedicated to ensuring compliance at all times and monitor every aspect of his life, from the assigned visits of his lover O-90, to his observance of the strict laws that must be obeyed. But, while on an assigned walk one evening, D-503 encounters the brazen I-330, a woman who shuns the laws. Fascinated by her, he soon finds himself drawn into a plot that is being carefully prepared. The Mephi, an organization dedicated to bringing down not only the One State, but The Green Wall which has been erected to keep One State's citizens apart from the outside world. As the revolution gathers pace, D-503 is forced to have 'The Great Operation' which will remove his imagination and emotions and turn him into a servant of the state, unable to speak out against it in any way or commit any acts of rebellion of law-breaking. But can The One State suppress the Mephi, who appear to have minds of their own and are ready to die for their beliefs? About: We by Evgeny Zamyatin in one of the best dystopian novels ever written and remains a dystopian fiction classic 100 years after it was conceived. This edition is unique due to the Dmitry Mintz, computer-made illustrations, which were not featured in the original edition, making it a must for collectors. From review: ✓ "A too-little-known dystopian narrative from 1921 that has a peculiar resonance in 2018." - Gabrielle Bellot ✓ "Among the best literary science fictions of all time." - Ephrat Livni ✓ "Perhaps the finest science-fiction novel ever written." - Ursula le Guin ✓ "Perhaps the most striking political image in America today and in Zamyatin's novel is the idea of a wall-a crass, simplistic image wielded by Trump to represent keeping supposedly dangerous immigrants at bay, and a more sophisticated image in We representing keeping the outside world itself away." - Gabrielle Bellot
