The plot of the book, published even before the famous novels of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, takes place in a dystopian future. The totalitarian system depicted in the novel operates based on mathematical logic, so the members of society are anonymous and distinguished only by numbers. In such a world, signs of individuality, fantasy, and human feelings are considered manifestations of disease. Farkas updates the theme of the novel with the parallels of contemporary society. He compares the glass-walled spaces imagined by Zamyatin to social networking sites, which are now inseparable from life, especially for young people. The revolutionary potential of the young generation already appears in Zamyatin's novel - "we" are actually "them", the community of rebels.
