In We, a groundbreaking translation of a seminal dystopian novel, we are introduced to the One State, a seemingly utopian society governed by the enlightened Benefactor. This city, predominantly constructed of glass, embodies a world where surveillance is omnipresent and life is meticulously orchestrated by algorithmic regulations designed to ensure absolute happiness. D-503, the Builder and a model citizen, navigates this controlled existence until he encounters I-330, a woman who challenges his perceptions of love, freedom, and individuality.

As D-503's interactions with I-330 deepen, he begins to question the very foundations of his society. The story unfolds as a compelling exploration of the tension between conformity and rebellion, delving into themes of control, power dynamics, and the human spirit's resilience. The novel serves as both a cautionary tale and a source of inspiration, resonating with contemporary issues surrounding surveillance and autonomy.

This new translation, introduced by Margaret Atwood, revitalizes the narrative, offering readers a fresh perspective on its radical ideas of societal structure, human desires, and the quest for freedom. It invites reflection on the balance between technological advancement and the essence of humanity.
