Pourquoi « Nous » de Zamiatine est le véritable miroir dystopique de notre époque

Oubliez Orwell et Huxley. « Nous » de Zamiatine (1921) dépeint un futur où nous nous soumettons volontairement à l’algorithme – la véritable dystopie des capitalistes de la surveillance d’aujourd’hui. #Nous #Zamyatin #Dystopie #CapitalismeDeSurveillance

Stop quoting Orwell memes. Forget 1984 and Brave New World. The real mirror of our times is Zamyatin’s We (1921): a world where we happily surrender ourselves to the algorithm.

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.

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:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/02/books/review/yevgeny-zamyatin-we.html
(Paywall 😞)

However, the book itself is now public domain:

Every today
is at the same time
both a cradle and a shroud:
a shroud for yesterday,
a cradle for tomorrow.
Today, yesterday and tomorrow
are equally near to one another,
and equally far.
