We, by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin, is a science-fiction novel set in a dystopian future totalitarian society. Published originally in the U.S. in 1924, this novel is considered the originator of the dystopian future fiction genre. We was the first novel banned by the Soviets’ censorship bureau; consequently, it was not published in Russia until 1988. However, We spawned some of the most famous dystopian future fiction writing in English, including George Orwell’s 1984, Ayn Rand’s Anthem, and Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano.
