I'm currently reading 'We', a book recommended to me by Richard's friend Mike. I'm really enjoying it, which isn't surprising, as I love dystopian novels. Synopsis:
'Set in the 26th century AD, Zamyatin's masterpiece describes life in the regimented totalitarian society of OneState, ruled over by the all-powerful Benefactor. The inspiration for George Orwell's 1984, We is the archetype of the modern dystopia, or anti-upopia: a great prose poem detailing the fate that might befall us all if we surrender our individual selves to some collective dream of technology and fail in the vigilance that is the price of freedom.'
Ouuu! I forgot I own that book and never read it. I'll get on that, then, mini-book club? :)
ReplyDeleteHehe I kinda thought you might own that book. Oh a mini-book club would be awesome! We could discuss via Skype :)
