The first major dystopian novel 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, later appearing in other European languages. It was only officially published in its home country in the late 1980s, during Perestroika.
The distant future. In the One State, cut off from the rest of the world by the Green Wall, life is strictly regulated by a schedule, houses are built of glass, people dress identically and wear numbers instead of names, and any attachments are forbidden. Engineer D-503 is a model citizen, but an encounter with the mysterious I-330 makes him doubt the perfection of the world around him.
Love, jealousy, the right to one's own feelings—for the citizens of the One State, these concepts do not exist: everyone is part of the common good, the personal is subordinated to the collective. But the feelings that flare up in D-503 are stronger than logic. His internal conflict develops into a confrontation with a system that tolerates neither doubt nor individuality.
