David Volodzko talks to former guest Kevin Ray about a disturbing experience he recently had on the New York subway, the pathology of woke activism, its influence in the arts and why things are getting worse rather than better, Yevgeny Zamyatin's dystopian novel We, his experience with compelled speech, and the effort to turn educators into activist therapists.Kevin Ray is a New York City theater director with over 20 years of experience as an arts educator. He produced and directed “Unearthly Visitants,” based on ghost stories by Edith Wharton, “The Machine Stops,” from EM Forster's short story, and “We,” from Russian dissident Yevgeny Zamyatin's dystopian science-fiction novel.

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is a novel written at the beginning of the future. It's hard to remember today, after Logan's Run, The Handmaid's Tale and Hunger Games made “dystopia” an entertainment genre, but when Yevgeny Zamyatin was writing in the early 1920s, it was only beginning to dawn on humanity just how bad the future might be.

In the One State of the great Benefactor, there are no individuals, only numbers. Life is an ongoing process of mathematical precision, a perfectly balanced equation. Primitive passions and instincts have been subdued. Even nature has been defeated, banished behind the Green Wall. But one frontier remains: outer space. Now, with the creation of the spaceship Integral, that frontier -- and whatever alien species are to be found there -- will be subjugated to the beneficent yoke of reason. Unless D-503 can find a space within himself - that disease the ancients called a soul.Join the Hugonauts book club on discord!Or you can watch the episode on YouTube if you prefer videoSimilar books we recommend: 1984 by George Orwell (https://hugonauts.simplecast.com/episodes/1984)Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (https://hugonauts.simplecast.com/episodes/brave-new-world)One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

To lead into the third season of Enduring Interest, we're re-releasing our first two seasons, covering totalitarianism and ideology and liberal education.  We'll be back on September 8 with a new season covering free speech and censorship. In the inaugural episode of Enduring Interest, I speak with Jacob Howland, McFarlin Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Tulsa, about Yevgeny Zamyatin's great dystopian novel WE. Jacob and I talk about Zamyatin himself—his early commitment to the Bolshevik cause in the early 1900s and his disillusionment following the revolution of 1917. The novel was written in 1920 but was suppressed in Russia. Zamyatin managed to smuggle the manuscript out of the country and it was first published in English translation in 1924. Tune in to hear an excerpt from the author's shockingly candid letter to Stalin protesting the suppression of his work. Jacob argues that Zamyatin's “fertile and poetic imagination” enabled him to write a subtle and dense book that sketches the conflict between the mathematical, thumotic soul and the poetic, erotic soul. Zamyatin saw that the militant, rationalizing impulse at the core of totalitarian politics distorts and destroys the obstacles in its path. D-503, the novel's main character, is transformed by erotic longing and his act of writing—both lead him down a path of self-discovery. Our conversation takes some interesting turns. Other authors discussed include Plato (lots of Plato!), Dostoevsky, Marx, Havel, Milosz, Huxley, and Orwell. Jacob judges WE to be superior to both 1984 and Brave New World. Enjoy!

In Episode 146 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg protests the unprovoked imperialist attack on the asteroid Dimorphos, and rants against the sacrosanct dogma of space expansionism. The much-hyped asteroid threat is clearly being used as a cover for militarization of space to achieve global hegemony on Earth—and for eventual corporate pillage of the heavenly bodies. Finally, a long-overdue voice of space skepticism emerges from academe, with the book Dark Skies: Space Expansionism, Planetary Geopolitics, and the Ends of Humanity by Daniel Deudney. But hubristic notions of "space communism" have also been seen on the political left, as discussed in the book I Want to Believe: Posadism, UFOs and Apocalypse Communism by AM Gittlitz. Both utopian and dystopian visions of space colonization were explored by Ursula K. Le Guin—the latter providing likely inspiration for James Cameron's hit movie Avatar. The utopian vision was first charted by the early Bolshevik writers Yevgeny Zamyatin in We and Alexander Bogdanov in Red Star. It was generations later embraced in rock music of the hippie era—most notably the Jefferson Starship and Black Sabbath. The perils of looking to space for human salvation have been explored in fictional form from Out of the Silent Planet by CS Lewis (1939) to The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin (2007). The critique was also put forth by Lewis in expository form in his 1958 essay "Religion & Rocketry"—in which he paradoxically takes a Christian moralist path to an anti-imperialist position on the space question which is more truly progressive than that of many "leftists."

A supercut of all season 1 episodes for convenient bingeing. George Orwell has rented a getaway cottage on a remote Scottish island to finish work on his groundbreaking novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Unfortunately, he finds he's been double-booked with the last person he'd choose to take a holiday with—his annoying literary nemesis, H. G. Wells! An argument about the destiny of humanity and the right way to make a cup of tea escalates into an aeon-spanning adventure of time travel and political machination, as Orwell conspires with other classic dystopian science fiction authors to use Wells's time-travel technology to shape the world into the dark future of their own books. This omnibus episode includes all six main episodes of Untrue Stories' first season, plus its three bonus mini-episodes, two of which have been integrated into the main continuity and the third of which is included as a post-credit scene. The episodes are linked together with short music cues, leaving all the credits to the end. There have also been numerous improvements to audio quality, particularly in the earlier episodes. Episode 1: A Nice Cup of Tea (0:00:58—0:14:27)Episode 2: The Wheels of Chance (0:14:30—0:28:15)Episode 3: Battle Ground (0:28:19—0:33:21 and 0:34:58—0:40:06)Mini-episode #1: Evil George Orwell (0:33:20—0:34:59)Episode 4: How a Nation Is Exploited (0:40:09—0:56:17)Episode 5: Man Becomes a Different Animal (0:56:20—1:11:02)Episode 6: The Wonderful Visit (1:11:05—1:21:50 and 1:27:59—1:33:33)Mini-episode #2: Exile to Hell (1:21:51—1:27:58)Mini-episode #3: The Telescreen Programme: Newspeak Phrasebook (post-credit scene) (1:37:02—1:42:21)CAST: Robin Johnson as George OrwellPatrick Spragg as H.

How a power-crazed junta of 20th-century dystopian authors overthrew Western democracy — and what went wrong. In the fourth exciting instalment of the time-travelling adventures of George Orwell and H. G. Wells, 1984's Big Brother himself has appeared before our heroes to relate the story of his rise to power at the head of a team of dystopian visionaries — Ray Bradbury, Margaret Atwood, Aldous Huxley and Yevgeny Zamyatin. CAST Robin Johnson as George OrwellPatrick Spragg as H. G. WellsTara Court as JuliaLiselle Nic Giollabháin as Thought Deputy Chief RutherfordEve Morris as the security guardWITH SPECIAL GUEST DYSTOPIANS Alexander Paul Walsh as Yevgeny Zamyatin and the BBC AnnouncerSimon Beck as Aldous HuxleyDavid Court as Ray BradburyAlex Noussias as Margaret AtwoodZamyatin's We, often credited as the inspiration for dystopia as a modern genre, is in the public domain and you can find an English translation at Project Gutenberg. Huxley claimed not to have read We before he wrote Brave New World. Orwell definitely read both. Huxley really was Orwell's French teacher at Eton. The Oceanian National Anthem, Oceania, 'Tis For Thee, with lyrics extrapolated by Robin to the tune of The Internationale, can be heard on our soundcloud, sung by several of Robin and two of Eve. While this episode was in production, the US Supreme Court struck down the federally protected right to abortion. This directly endangers and removes bodily autonomy from tens of millions of Americans, and sets a terrifying example for the rest of the world. Of all the dystopian novels discussed in the episode, Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale is now the most horribly relevant. Untrue Stories is free, but if you've enjoyed it as much as something you'd pay a few dollars for, you could donate those dollars to an organisation like the National Network of Abortion Funds, and/or perhaps to an organisation that will help the queer and trans people whose rights the Court has more or less promised to dismantle next. (You can even make those donations if you haven't enjoyed the show.)

Tune in to hear an excerpt from the author's shockingly candid letter to Stalin protesting the suppression of his work.   Jacob argues that Zamyatin's “fertile and poetic imagination” enabled him to write a subtle and dense book that sketches the conflict between the mathematical, thumotic soul and the poetic, erotic soul. Zamyatin saw that the militant, rationalizing impulse at the core of totalitarian politics distorts and destroys the obstacles in its path. D-503, the novel's main character, is transformed by erotic longing and his act of writing—both lead him down a path of self-discovery.   Our conversation takes some interesting turns. Other authors discussed include Plato (lots of Plato!), Dostoevsky, Marx, Havel, Milosz, Huxley, and Orwell. Jacob judges WE to be superior to both 1984 and Brave New World. Enjoy!

Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, from 1921, is the original dystopia that spawned all other twentieth-century dystopias portrayed in literature. Despite being the oldest dystopia, it is in some ways the most relevant one for today, more so than the more famous 1984 and Brave New World. Yet its most crucial lesson is almost always ignored. (The written version of this review can be found here.)

«Большой Брат следит за тобой» — это фраза из книги «1984» Джорджа Оруэлла, которая знакома даже тем, кто никогда не интересовался жанром антиутопий.

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin We, a Russian dystopian novel, and sometimes described as the grandfather of dystopian novels. We is seen as an influential and important work of science fiction and for the genre of dystopia. We follows a scientist who is working on a very important space rocket, but due to a happenstantial introduction, … Continue reading Ep054 We by Yevgeny Zamyatin →

We discuss The Memory Police, a haunting dystopian novel that explores questions of power, trauma and state surveillance written by Yoko Ogawa, one of Japan's leading contemporary novelists. Set on an unnamed island, the narrator of The Memory Police describes how every so often something in the inhabitants' lives will disappear. Birds, roses, books, one by one these things vanish overnight and the next day people wake up to find they have lost the memory of them. The Memory Police then arrive to enforce the disappearance, rounding up and destroying all evidence of the disappeared thing. They are also on the hunt for those few members of the population who have the ability to retain their memories, something hard to disguise. These people too must disappear, but what happens to them? The narrator tries to save her friend, R, by hiding him in a concealed room. But as more and more things disappear it starts to become unclear what she is saving him for. An uncomfortable read that provoked mixed feelings among Laura's book group, but which, on reflection, we think could have been one of the best book club books we have ever done. Listen in to hear more, why Yoko Ogawa is the Georgette Heyer of Japan, and how Laura is about to become a disappeared thing herself. Plus our recommendations for your next book club read. Books mentioned on the show: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Never Let Me Go and The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro, We by Yevgeny Zamyatin and The Happy Reader magazine.

Nunca la literatura había explorado seriamente la hipótesis de que la subjetividad humana emerge de la materia hasta que llegó Egan. Por supuesto, no podemos soportar la verdad. “Axiomático”. La gran colección de relatos, heterogénea y brillante donde explora los límites de la ciencia ficción dura, pero no en el espacio exterior, sino en ese espacio consciente que es solo el epifenómeno de una red neural (“tu!”). “Diáspora”. ¿Qué hacer con la existencia cuando estas liberado de las restricciones de la materia? La respuesta de Egan es “entretenerse con crucigramas cada vez más difíciles”.

This week we discuss the second half of "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin - its pioneering work in one of Western literature's favorite genres, and its haphazard, muddled plot.

This week we continue our discussion on "A Planet For Rent" by Yoss. The second half of this book is less humorous and more somber. We watch humans try to escape their captivity from Earth, and while some succeed and some don't, all lose a part of themselves for trying. Next week we're reading the first half of the Russian dystopian novel "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin. The English translated work of Yoss and many other authors can be found at Restless Books.

Our cultural friday morning today will lead Antonella, Davide and Sasha to discuss the questions that Dystopian Literature is still posing after a century. What are the contemporary values of “Brave new world” by Aldous Huxley, George Orwell's “1984” and their ancestor novel “We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin? Sex and pleasure, Terror, Brainwashing are used by the manipulative governments of these novels in order to control people. But how easily do human beings give up “Freedom”? Fyodor Dostoyevsky still gives an unsettling insight in this discussion...

Where politics and democracy are heading into the future? It is a theme that has run throughout the history of science fiction. Something that already in 1921, Yevgeny Zamyatin tried to imagine in his novel “We”, for example, and later developed in different directions by Orwell, Huxley and the likes. The following quote from “We” recalls the tone and the imagery of these reflections about the future of democracy, back in the past. A sort of archeology of the Future. *It goes without saying that this does not resemble the disordered, disorganized elections of the Ancients, when – it seems funny to say it – the result of an election was not known beforehand. Building a government on totally unaccounted – for happenstance, blindly – what could be more senseless? And yet still, it turns out, it took centuries to understand this. * Malka Older condensed a reflection on the topic in her Centenal Cycle, a series of cyberpunk technothrillers beginning with Infomocracy. Her premise is set in a not so distant future ad it portrays a world governed by micro-democracies. Countries have been replaced by districts (called centenals) of 100,000 people, and the entire world turns out to vote once a decade for their local government. The political party elected to the most centenals becomes the Supermajority, setting policy and direction for the world at large. Needless to say, the stakes are high as a new election approaches. In this episode we will start our space-time exploration of today with that premise. How would Europe look like under Infomocracy? Malka Older is a writer, humanitarian worker, and holds a PhD at the Centre de Sociologie des Organisations at science po in Paris studying governance and disasters. Named Senior Fellow for Technology and Risk at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs for 2015, she has more than eight years of experience in humanitarian aid and development, and has responded to complex emergencies and natural disasters in Uganda, Darfur, Indonesia, Japan, and Mali. Her first novel Infomocracy has been published by Tor.com in 2016, starting the so-far trilogy of the centenal cycle, which comprises Null States and her latest State Tectonics. She is one of the nominees for the prestigious Hugo Award for 2019 and she recently published for the New York Times in their series op-eds from the future. Giuseppe Porcaro is the author of DISCO SOUR, a novel about Europe and democracy in the age of algorithms, among the winners of the Altiero Spinelli Prize for Outrech of the European Union in 2018. Giuseppe is interested in how the intersection between technology and politics is moving towards uncharted territories in the future. He also focuses on narrative-building and political representations in the European Union. He works as the head of communications for Bruegel.

Amanda and Jenn discuss horror westerns, adventure novels, books in translation, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book Riot Insiders, Upon a Burning Throne by Ashok K. Banker, and Extraordinary Birds by Sandy Stark-McGinnis. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher.   Questions 1. Hello! My friend is about to have her 2nd baby, and I’m putting together a postpartum care package for her. Obviously I need to include books! Pregnancy brain and a toddler running around have made it hard for her to concentrate on anything substantial for very long, so I’m looking for quick reads that she can dip in and out of (graphic novels, poetry, short story collections, etc.). She loves cooking, especially with the food she grows herself, and anything nature-related. I’ve already got Lumberjanes, Misfit City, and Relish on my list, as well as Mary Oliver and Walt Whitman (if I can find something of his she hasn’t read). Thank you so very much for any suggestions! -Sarah   2. I absolutely loved a Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. I also read Rules of Civility. I love books with great character development set around historical events or spanning a long time with cultural or historical significance. Some of my favorite authors are Margaret Mitchell, John Jakes, Fredrik Backman and Michael Chabon. Please recommend some books or authors that can grab me like these authors. Thanks Helen   3. First of all, I love listening to the Podcast, I discovered it a couple weeks ago and have since then gotten caught up, I literally was listening for probably 10 hours a day! You guys are all super amazing and I love hearing what you will all choose for the different rec’s. Here is mine: I recently rediscovered my love of adventure books. Growing up my favorite adventure books/movies were Jurassic Park, Jumanji, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Congo and Indiana Jones. As an adult I am having trouble finding good quality adventure books. Are there any that would read like an Indiana Jones movie? I recently read The Anomaly by: Michael Rutger which has a similar concept and I did enjoy it. I am also currently reading Sandstorm by: James Rollins which is what got me thinking that I need more adventure books in my life. I want to be an archaeologist in another life, and since that is not an option I would love to read more archaeology books. I hope you can help me find some! -Alexis   4. Hello! I am an avid reader, but I sometimes think I’m not great at gauging my own tastes in books. My favorite books tend to be when the prose, themes, plot all feel intentionally aligned by the author to form a perfectly crafted present to a reader. Some of my favorite reads that fall into this category are The Vegetarian, The Song of Achilles, Freshwater, The Poet X, and Tin Man. I prefer standalone novels, but any genre/age range recommendations are welcome. I am also open to any suggestions to bump up books that are on my already very large Goodreads tbr. Thanks for the help! -Danielle   5. I would like to read some amazing books in translation. I’m really into science fiction, but it doesn’t have to be science fiction. I just want something totally gripping from another culture and language. Probably my all-time number one favorite book in translation is The Man with Compound Eyes by Ming-yi Wu (though they usually write his name as Wu Ming-yi). Some other favorite books in translation are: April Witch by Majgull Axelsson, The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katrina Bivald, The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, The Great Passage by Shion Miura, The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa, The Three Body Problem & The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu, One Hundred Years of Solitude & Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. [Does the Mere Wife by Maria Dahvana Headley count?] Some books in translation that didn’t thrill me include: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (actually I haven’t liked anything by him but I can’t remember the other ones I’ve read), The Inferno by Dante Alighieri (though I feel the translation I read might have been subpar), The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami, The Girl Who Loneliness by Kyung-Sook Shin, Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, HWJN by Ibraheem Abbas, Girls of Riyadh by Rajaa Alsanea, and Target in the Night by Ricardo Piglia. I want books that help me understand people, so I do want an internal world in my books. But they don’t have to be exclusively internal. I like action and plot as well. Of course, beautiful prose is always great but not necessary. Think the Martian Chronicles- lots of societal commentary done in a beautiful way. I don’t need any European books, but I won’t say no if you think it’s amazing. I’d rather expand my reading though and get somewhere new in my reading life. I think I’ve done little to no reading of African writers in translation, and the books that I’ve read set in Africa have been mostly in Nigeria and Egypt. I love short stories too and am open to anthologies. I also would prefer to read female authors!!! Thanks so much! You guys are awesome!!! I’m new to Get Booked and Book Riot but I am so thrilled to have found you guys!! PS: I just download about 8 books from World Book Day on Amazon! -Teresa   6. I’ve really loved reading Shout and Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Solo by Kwame Alexander and Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo. I want to read something in this same vein – novels written in verse. Not sure if you’ve answered this before but please help! -Holly   7. My little book club (Ogden Lit and Libations) is celebrating three years this October. While discussing a good creepy read to pick along with picks for a couple of other months, we realized we had yet to read a western novel. We’ve already picked all our other books for this year, so we want a combined genre pick for October. We’re looking for a western horror or horror western that will keep us reading and that has great discussion potential. Our general guidelines are to pick backlist (but we will go new for a fabulous read) that aren’t extremely popular due to an impending movie or TV show (again, fabulous will override this) that are around 400 pages (less is fine, more than 500 requires the book be outstanding). Thank you! Looking forward to hearing your recs! -Amanda   Books Discussed The Unsettlers by Mark Sundeen When Women Were Birds by Terry Tempest Williams The Architect’s Apprentice by Elif Shafak That Deadman Dance by Kim Scott Time Salvager by Wesley Chu Labyrinth by Kate Mosse Insurrecto by Gina Apostol (tw genocide) Tentacle by Rita Indiana, translated by Achy Obejas (tw: sexual assault, homophobia, slurs) August by Romina Paula, translated by Jennifer Croft Future Fiction, edited by Bill Campbell Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai Blood Water Paint by Joy McCollough (tw: rape, suicidal ideation) Daughters Unto Devils by Amy Lukavics Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse

Science fiction has long inspired new technologies, from robots to flip phones to artificial intelligence and more. Yet it's provocative to consider that sci-fi is more often descriptive than predictive. Dystopias can reflect contemporary fears and biases. Utopias may contain robot characters more developed than women characters. Still, the clear path from imagined worlds to today's tech products is worth celebrating. Speaking of which, this episode marks the end of Season 1. Thanks for listening.

Beginning with praise, transitioning to criticism and ultimately reaching a state of forgiveness, the panel embarks upon its ongoing Dystopian Novel Series with the granddaddy of the dystopian novel, We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. (Coincidentally recorded on the podcast's one year anniversary). Completed in 1921 and published in 1924 (with an English translation), Zamyatin's forging of the genre predates pretty much anything you might mistakenly argue came first. Harbor's Metropolis or the the Fritz Lang film adaptation? Sorry. London's The Iron Heel? Nope. Huxley's A Brave New World? Come on, man! Trust us, we looked this shit up. Today's episode was brought to you by the Numbers PF-237, GK-42 and SZ-119 as well as the word "insidious" and several pronunciations of the word "integral".

Yevgeny Zamyatin's experiences in the Tyne shipyards fed into his dystopian fable "We", which was published in 1919. It depicts a city of glass where citizens are spied upon. Fans of the book have included George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Wolfe and it increasingly resonates with today's concerns about surveillance techniques. Matthew Sweet and an audience at The Free Thinking Festival from Sage Gateshead discuss the novel with poet Sean O'Brien, columnist David Aaronovitch and Radio 3 New Generation Thinker Sarah Dillon. Recorded on Sunday 27 October 2013.

Yevgeny Zamyatin was born in rural Russia on February 20, 1884. He died just a little more than 53 years later, in exile, in Paris, on March 10, 1937. His only novel was not widely read during his brief life, nor is it widely read today. It’s become one of those classics people would rather acknowledge as classics than actually sit down to read. But it has exercised an immense influence, especially in the English-speaking world, thanks to writers like George Orwell, who did read it, and writers like Aldous Huxley and Ayn Rand, who probably read it. By influencing their more famous dystopian novels — 1984, Brave New World, and Anthem — We has made itself an honored place in the libertarian tradition.

Ultimately, he and the woman are caught, imprisoned, and tortured. In the end, he is sincerely repentant of his crimes and is completely devoted to the all-encompassing government that has done him all this harm.We was the work of a not-very-well-known Russian writer, Yevgeny Zamyatin. Nineteen Eighty-Four, by contrast, is extremely well known in the West today, particularly in England and the United States, where words and phrases like "Newspeak," "doublethink," "thoughtcrime," and "Big Brother Is Watching You" are familiar to millions who have never read the novel from which they come. And there is no getting around the similarities between 1984 and Zamyatin's We.
