Re: Classic literature thread
What he's referencing there was actually a very popular movement in Soviet Russia known as cosmism. It involved a lot of belief in science and transhumanism; essentially that mathematics and science were a force that would allow man to overcome nature.
The whole novel is a very accurate portrayal of the Bolshevist mindset and belief system. The voting scene in the novel, for example, is actually a highly accurate portrayal of what voting was really like under the Soviet government, and the ideas of the revolutionaries mirror the ideas of the Decemberists and the revolutionary movement Zamyatin himself was part of before his troubles with the government.
...tl;dr We is a novel that requires a lot of background knowledge about Russian history and the personal history of the author to fully appreciate. It's written from a very particular perspective of a man who loves his country and his revolution equally, and was wronged by the people who he fought alongside in order to topple the Tzarist regime.
