Review

In the One State, people carry numbers instead of names, live in glass houses and spend their days according to the Table of Hours. D-503, chief engineer of the spaceship Integral, believes in this perfect order with all his heart.

Meeting the mysterious, rule-breaking I-330 turns D-503's diary into a confession: a disease called "the soul" is taking root inside him.

The novel that influenced 1984 and Brave New World is regarded as one of the founding texts of modern dystopia.
