We by Yevgeny Zamyatin

We tells of persons known as numbers living in the One State. All numbers live by a rigid timetable, performing exactly the same motions in time with one another in their all-glass environment. We is the story of D-503, who is aroused from acceptance of the system by a strange woman, E-330. His transformation from conformity to radical action, his revolt against the state, and his eventual defeat are vividly chronicled in his diary.
