  • Now don't panic. There is plenty of time to read WE; It's less than 200 pages.

    It's a short dystopian novel written by a Russian in the 1920s during Stalin's rule. He had not intended to have it published when it was, ... and there were consequences! It's a Sci-Fi social commentary, set in a future world with glass houses and a glass spaceship. Of course, the commentary is actually on the time period Zamyatin was living in.

    This novel inspired Anthem by Ayn Rand, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and 1984 by George Orwell. I think we'll find some positive lessons within!
