Nosotros

Nosotros es una novela rusa escrita por Yevgeni Zamiatin en 1921 sobre una sociedad futura donde la opresión y represión por parte de la clase dirigente sobre las demás es total. Es una de las primeras obras del subgénero de las distopías e inspiró en muchos aspectos la famosa 1984 de George Orwell según reconoció el propio autor británico. Wikipedia We is set in the future. D-503, a spacecraft engineer, lives in the One State, an urban nation constructed almost entirely of glass, which assists mass surveillance. The structure of the state is Panopticon-like, and life is scientifically managed F. W. Taylor-style. People march in step with each other and are uniformed. There is no way of referring to people except by their given numbers. The society is run strictly by logic or reason as the primary justification for the laws or the construct of the society. The individual's behavior is based on logic by way of formulas and equations outlined by the One State. We is a dystopian novel completed in 1921. It was written in response to the author's personal experiences with the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917, his life in the Newcastle suburb of Jesmond and work in the Tyne shipyards at nearby Wallsend during the First World War. It was at Tyneside that he observed the rationalization of labor on a large scale. I shall simply copy, word for word, the proclamation that appeared today in the One State Gazette: The building of the Integral will be completed in one hundred and twenty days.
