I'm still in the process of reading but already know that this is a five star read for me. I can see how this book inspired 1984. I really loved the suspense and characters and the writing style. Definitely recommend for those that love dystopians

eh.. the writing is kinda lacking, but, y'know.. points for being written in 1924 and laying some sci-fi foundation.

oh, pairs well with “THX 1138”.

Orwell should be embarrassed.

What a groundbreaking book this was. Published before Brave New World and before 1984. So many books borrow from the themes here. I'd love to read a biography of Zamyatin one day.

Great story! Can definitely tell where future authors got their inspiration from. I personally couldn't get into the writing style and some aspects of it required rereading to keep up with the plot. The ending was less than what I hoped for but definitely realistic.

A painful abstract and obtuse read. I really could not at all say what happened. Zamyatin stopped a lot of sentences short. Maybe it is some sort of love betrayal story for the One-State. Let me know if you figure it out.

Both stunningly brilliant and frightening simultaneously.
