We (Yevgeny Zamyatin)
Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We," from 1921, is the original dystopia that spawned all other twentieth-century dystopias portrayed in literature. Despite being the oldest dystopia, it is in some ways the most relevant one for today, more so than the more famous "1984" and "Brave New World." Yet its most crucial lesson is almost always ignored.

"Yevgeny Zamyatin’s 'We,'written in 1921, is the ur-dystopia of all modern dystopias. True, Aldous Huxley’s 'Brave New World' and George Orwell’s '1984,' both of which this book influenced, get more attention today. In fact, it is nearly a cliché, at least on the Right, that we are heading to some combination of the two, the only question being which our future society will resemble more, if we do not first overthrow the lords of the present age. That is as it may be, but Zamyatin’s novel offers a third future, certainly a future more to the liking of today’s ruling class than either of those other futures. And, crucially, its story ends with a lesson lacking in those other books, even though that lesson is, it appears, universally ignored by those who discuss this book." . . .
