  1. I'm struck by how much more modernist Zamiatin's We is than 1984 and Brave New World. This might be why I am finding it a bit of a trudge to get through.

  2. I'm reading Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, a hundred years after he wrote it. It's striking that the protagonist of his dystopia starts off thinking everything is great.

    I haven't read We by the #Russian #Bolshevik exile novelist,
    Yevgeny #Zamyatin (Russian: #Евгений #Замятин, sometimes also seen spelled Eugene #Zamiatin), but it seems like an interesting read for #SciFiSaturday, if even the #NYT wrote a piece about it a century later:

    (Paywall 😞)

    However, the book itself is now public domain:
