Anyone ever read WE by Zamyatin? I was reminded of it recently and i just remembered how much i loved the creativity and absurdity of the universe it's set in. I really love the these kinds of dystopian novels and fiction from the early 20th century and was wondering if any of you know a similar book to this one i can enjoy.
Also general dystopian thread i guess, post and discuss books of this genre you enjoy.

I haven't read it all the way through but am about halfway through it right now. I like it, though generally I don't like love stories.

I think the love story in We was nice but i paid more attention to the surroundings and the way the protagonist thought. It was an interesting way of reading the thought process of someone who would be stuck in that kind of weird society and how people interacted with each other.
What do you think about those glass buildings? I love that idea very original imo.

I think the glass buildings are a nice touch. So many dystopian novels take place in concrete brutalist cityscapes so it's nice to see that one of the first dystopias was more creative. I also like that the protagonist is a mathematician, since it gives the book a more abstract, timeless feel.

It's pretty nice. That hack Rand ripped most of it off for Anthem.
I wish the movie didn't overshadow the book as much as it does.
