For anyone who enjoys novels about dystopian societies, I cannot recommend "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin enough. Especially for fans of Orwell or Huxley to see where many of their ideas stemmed from.

For those who've never heard of it, it's a novel about the regimented totalitarian society of OneState, ruled over by the all-powerful "Benefactor", set in the 26th century. People have no names, only numbers and all work in unison with each other, sleep at the same time and eat at the same time. The buildings of OneState are glass, so no one has anything to hide. They are cut off from the irrationalities of the outside world, such as nature, by the Green Wall, a giant glass wall encompassing the whole of OneState.

The novel is written in the form of daily entries from the view of a male labelled D-503, a mathemetician and the creator of the INTEGRAL, a giant ship that is to spread the logic and reason of OneState and enforce it on the people of other planets.

He continues to document each day and his thoughts as he becomes infatuated with a woman known as I-330, who begins to make him question his absolute belief in OneState.

Perhaps Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason would be a good companion to it for anyone who is intrigued by Zamyatin's novel.
