This really sounds like an interesting book. It's not that we don't have enough dystopias, but this one was written during full-blown revolution and yet managed to see through it it seems.

I find it particularly fascinating that Zamyatin was imprisoned for writing We, which was banned from being within the Soviet Union. He eventually was allowed to emigrate to Paris. We was considered a dangerous book, which is understandable because of its bold critique of both socialism and communism.
