About this listen

The exhilarating dystopian novel that inspired George Orwell's 1984 and foreshadowed the worst excesses of Soviet Russia.

Yevgeny Zamyatin's We is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand.

In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity - until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the 26th century AD, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.

It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction.

Classic story, skillfully performed

The self-interested hyperbole about “AI” which is in circulation makes this story seem incredibly current. Man vs machine and man as machine - we haven’t progressed much in 100 years, it seems.

The words are performed convincingly but I was even more impressed by the “gaps”, which were cleverly allowed to speak volumes, as the author intended.
