Zamyatin

Yevgeny Zamyatin was a Russian author best known for his novel *We*, written in 1920. The book explores a future society governed by strict rationality and uniformity, where individuals have little personal freedom. Zamyatin’s work is considered a pioneering critique of authoritarian regimes and a precursor to dystopian fiction, influencing later works like George Orwell’s *1984*. His writing challenges notions of conformity, individuality, and freedom, offering a thought-provoking vision of a highly controlled society. Zamyatin’s ideas continue to resonate in discussions about personal liberty, surveillance, and the potential dangers of excessive government oversight.
