    I am reading it right now; a year since I finished my dystopian novel, Sex in the Time of Segregation.

    Only Russian soul can write "WE"! Same as "Gulag Archipelago" Both are unique and incomparable.

      it’s enough to be a science fiction writer to write these two grotesque works

    The true horror is the denial of individual. Everyone is living by rigid and unnatural stands. And no one can escape by reasonable means.

    I have to disagree with your I330 depiction. She chooses him because she likes him, you can see that in her split sentences, where she confesses that she knew she would fall for him, or in her cynical smile when the main character tells her that he knows it was all just for his position. At that moment she becomes cold because her heart is broken by the fact that he chooses sense over love, rational explanation about everything that happened between them. She chose him literally coz of his hands, I mean, if that doesn't signal A major girl crush, I don't know what does.

      Yeah, that's a solid and probably more accurate interpretation. Thanks.

      Not quite but it is where the idea of the Monday Club as a name was from.

    I fell in love with the BBC's adaptation they aired on BBC radio 4 extra, it's brilliant and does contain all the essential details necessary to properly tell the story, and I think they do it in around 90 minutes. Since I heard it I cannot find it again, ANYWHERE. And I'm hoping the BBC will air it again soon. It was part of a specific series of such stories alike. It had done JG Ballard too, although I can't remember the titles. One where a driver has a crash on a duel carriageway, and goes off for help and is flung into a dystopian world where he lives in a little abandoned electric maintenance building or something and doesn't get off the side of the dual carriageway for months and lives with a weird girl and strange but simple big guy who she takes advantage of. It's bizarre. Lol

    If you read one novel per year and you choose "We", I'm sure you can pick another one. "We" is read in a couple of hours.
