The first major dystopia of the 20th century and a classic of world literature. A novel that largely defined the development of the genre and influenced the works of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The book was first published abroad, after which it was released in other European languages. In its homeland, the work was officially published only in the late 1980s, during the perestroika period.
A distant future. In the One State, cut off from the rest of the world by the Green Wall, life is strictly governed by a schedule, houses are made of glass, people dress alike and wear numbers instead of names, and any attachments are forbidden. Engineer D-503 is a model citizen, but his encounter with the mysterious I-330 causes him to doubt the perfection of the world around him.
Love, jealousy, the right to one's own feelings—these concepts do not exist for the citizens of the One State: each is part of the whole, the personal is subordinate to the collective. But the feelings that ignite in D-503 are stronger than logic. His internal conflict grows into a confrontation with a system that tolerates neither doubt nor individuality.
