'We' is a landmark novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin, from which the very existence of the genre 'dystopia'is officially counted. Banned in the Soviet period, it is now considered one of the cult works of not only Russian, but also world literature of the twentieth century.This novel is about a 'society of equals', in which the human personality is reduced to a 'number'. Everything is unified in it – clothes and apartments, thoughts and feelings. There is no family, no strong attachments… Dmitry Bykov said this well: "The author very accurately and convincingly described the utopia of the mind, closed in itself, doomed to loneliness, deprived of contact with the outside world. According to Zamyatin, the main tragedy is that a person can defeat the beast in himself, go into the pure realm of rationality, which will be disastrous for humanity."
