Save:'We' by Yevgeny Zamyatin is an early dystopian novel that presents a futuristic society known as the One State, where individuality is eliminated, and people are referred to as numbers. The protagonist, an engineer named D 503, finds his world turned upside down when he meets a rebellious woman named I 330 who challenges the uniformity of the One State. The story unfolds through D 503's diary entries, showcasing his journey of questioning the society he lives in and the ultimate conflict between order and rebellion. The book delves into themes of totalitarianism, revolution, and the suppression of emotions in a society governed by rationality and control.
Zamyatin's writing style in 'We' is described as vivid, innovative, and ahead of its time. The narrative is presented in a diary format, offering a unique perspective on the protagonist's inner thoughts and struggles.

The story not only serves as a significant precursor to dystopian classics like '1984' and 'Brave New World' but also as a thought-provoking exploration of individuality, rebellion, and the impact of totalitarian rule on human nature.
