About this ebook
D-503 is the Builder of the Integral, the United State’s first spaceship. A life of calculations and equations in the United State leaves little room for emotional expression outside of the pink slips that give one private time with another Number. The façade however starts to crack when I-330, a mysterious she-Number with a penchant for the Ancients, enters the picture.
We, Yevgeny Zamyatin’s fourth novel, was written in 1920–21, but remained unpublished until its English release in 1924 due to conditions in the Soviet Union at the time (it was eventually published there in 1988). Its dystopian future setting predates Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World, and it’s now considered a founding member of the genre. It has been translated into English and other languages many times; presented here is the original 1924 translation by Gregory Zilboorg.

It was slightly entertaining at first, but descended into word salad. Many words used to express the simplest of moments. It's the story of a guy that falls in love with a woman he bones. I'm not the smartest guy on these review boards, so I may be wrong about the story of this book. I hope I am as I saw this book as dull as fuh! It reminded me of Lolita in the way it uses words to destroy the readers train of thought as they read. Like trying to make your way through a maze and always hitting dead ends, if that makes sense. This dude falls for a chick and tries hard to get "with her" over and over again. It was a nonsensical book, one I almost quit and hated coming back to. I finished it, but it came at high sacrifice of reading an actual enjoyable book. I hope not all Russian literature is like this, I have higher hopes for what lays ahead. 1.5/5. Just happy to be done with it.
