Yevgeny Zamyatin 
We 

We  is a
dystopian novel by Russian writer
Yevgeny Zamyatin , written in 1920–1921.

It was first published as an English translation by Gregory Zilboorg in 1924 by E. P. Dutton in New York, with the original Russian text first published in 1952. The novel describes a world of harmony and conformity within a united
totalitarian state . It influenced the emergence of dystopia as a literary genre. George Orwell said that Aldous Huxley’s 1931 Brave New World must be partly derived from We, although Huxley denied this. Orwell’s own Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) was also inspired by We.




Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin (1884 – 1937), sometimes anglicized as Eugene Zamyatin, was a Russian author of science fiction, philosophy, literary criticism, and political satire.
