Book summary
In the One State, ringed by a wall of glass, people carry numbers and live by a fixed timetable in transparent flats. D-503, engineer of the spaceship Integral, keeps a journal meant for the peoples he will help conquer, until he meets I-330, who pulls him outside the rules. What he feels then has no name in his language. The novel explores freedom, happiness imposed from above, and what is left of a person when everything is shared. Zamyatin gives the modern dystopia one of its first forms.
