We is a dystopian novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin completed in 1921.
It was written in response to the author's personal experiences with the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917, his life in the Newcastle suburb of Jesmond and work in the Tyne shipyards at nearby Wallsend during the First World War. It was on Tyneside that he observed the rationalisation of labour on a large scale.
The first English translation of We was published in 1924.
