反烏托邦(dystopia)小說 : We (我們) by Yevgeny Zamyatin
This novel has served as the inspiration for what has become a dominant sub-genre of science fiction. It is the first major dystopian (反烏托邦) novel, a precursor to George Orwell’s 1984, Aldus Huxley’s Brave New World, and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. We was first published in English in 1924, thenin Czech in 1927. It wouldn’t be published in Russian until 1952, some fifteen years after Zamyatin’s death. Even then, it was not published in Russia, but by the Chekhov Publishing House in New York.
