We (Version 2)

LibriVox recording of We (Version 2) by Yevgeny Zamyatin. (Translated by Gregory Zilboorg.) Read in English by LibriVox volunteers. So subversive, the Soviet Union banned it. D-503 is a single note in the harmonious choir of the United State, a totalitarian nation ruled by mathematical perfection and order. As he walks the glass sidewalks and documents his life in "records" for the reader, he worries that he might be developing something the doctors call a "soul." We is considered to be the inspiration of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Ayn Rand's Anthem , among other staples in science fiction and dystopia. Its treatment of technological advancement and individuality will not be lost on the modern reader. - Summary by Roger Serling For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
