In the 26th century, a totalitarian government rules the world. Every citizen has all of their needs completely taken care of, but the price is a life without passion, creativity, or adventure. Cities are made of glass to aid the government's surveillance of its people. Citizens are given numbers rather than names to discourage individuality. But resentment and anger seethe just beneath the surface of the citizenry's polite veneer. It is time for someone to strike a blow for individuality and freedom!

This earth-shattering dystopian novel is full of fast-paced adventure, with a message that reverberated down through history! We ruffled the feathers of the ruling elite of Russia when it was smuggled out of the country and published in English in 1924. It would not see publication in Russia until 1988, after its author, Yevgeny Zamyatin, had already left Russia as a result of his treatment over the novel. By then, We's influence had spread far; Brave Nеw World,  Anthem, 1984, and Player Piano all owe an enduring debt to We.

Of writing Player Piano, Kurt Vonnegut said "I cheerfully ripped off the plot of Brave Nеw World, whose plot had been cheerfully ripped off from Yevgeny Zamyatin's We."
