<p><b>From the Back Cover</b><br><p><strong>Before <em>Brave New World...</em> <br>Before <em>1984...</em>There was...</p><p>WE</strong></p><p>In the One State of the great Benefactor, there are no individuals, only numbers. Life is an ongoing process of mathematical precision, a perfectly balanced equation. Primitive passions and instincts have been subdued. Even nature has been defeated, banished behind the Green Wall. But one frontier remains: outer space. Now, with the creation of the spaceship <em>Integral, </em> that frontier -- and whatever alien species are to be found there -- will be subjugated to the beneficent yoke of reason. </p><p>One number, D-503, chief architect of the <em>Integral, </em> decides to record his thoughts in the final days before the launch for the benefit of less advanced societies. But a chance meeting with the beautiful 1-330 results in an unexpected discovery that threatens everything D-503 believes about himself and the One State. The discovery -- or rediscovery -- of <em>inner</em> space...and that disease the ancients called the soul. </p><p>A page-turning SF adventure, a masterpiece of wit and black humor that accurately predicted the horrors of Stalinism, <em>We</em> is the classic dystopian novel. Its message of hope and warning is as timely at the end of the twentieth century as it was at the beginning.</p>
