We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is a dystopian novel set in a totalitarian future where society is governed by logic, mathematics, and the collective will. The story is told through the diary of D-503, a mathematician and engineer who helps build a spaceship designed to spread the regime’s ideals to other planets. Citizens live in a highly controlled, glass-walled city under constant surveillance, with no individuality or freedom. D-503's life is disrupted when he falls in love with a woman named I-330, who introduces him to forbidden ideas about rebellion and human emotion. As D-503 grapples with his awakening, the novel explores themes of freedom, individuality, and the dangers of absolute control.
