About
Written in 1921, We is, set in the One State, where all live for the collective good and individual freedom does not exist. The novel takes the form of the diary of mathematician D-503, who, to his shock, experiences the most disruptive emotion imaginable: love. At once, satirical and sobering, and now, available in a powerful new translation. We is both a rediscovered classic and a work of tremendous relevance to our own times.
The story is set in an urban glass city called One State, regulated by spies and secret police. Citizens of the tyrannical One State wear identical clothing and are, distinguished only by the number assigned to them at birth. The story follows a man called D-503, who dangerously begins to veer from the 'norms' of society after meeting I-330, a woman, who defies the rules. D-503 soon finds himself caught up in a secret plan to destroy One State and liberate the city.
