We: 200 Word Reviews #13
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is a groundbreaking, forward-thinking, and experimental gem of mildly unpleasant reading. D-503 lives in the United State, where everyone sleeps in glass-houses, wears the same clothes, and march in unison as they follow the Timetables, proscribing how each moment of the day must be spent, under the watchful eye of the Well-Doer. D-503 is the builder of the Integral, a spaceship that will carry their philosophy of perfectly ordered happiness to other worlds. All is in its place, until he meets I-330, who leads him down a path of chaos in freedom.
