We by Yevgeny Zamyatin * * * * *
I read We by Yevgeny Zamyatin as a part of my special literature class. We were studying dystopia and this is pretty much the founding book of the genre. I loved this book. The description of the society was haunting. I still visually remember some scenes of it, the places, even though I read it in 1999. The glass houses , the people marching to music. Round O . The big hand or the leader. The story itself is not long, nor is it as exciting as some of the later dystopia books. Perhaps the reason why I remember it in pictures was that it was more of a description of the world, than a string of events. This book made me fall in love with the genre. I would buy a copy if I found one. It should also be made into a movie.
