Default A pjn recommendation

I just finished reading "We", by yevgeny zamyatin, and have to say it was fantastic. Written in the twenties by a soviet exile, it was the inspiration for orwell's 1984, and often is thought to have helped inspire "the doors of perception". A new translation, by natasha randall, was just published, and i highly recommend you picking it up.

The quote on the cover is "The best single work of science fiction yet written." - Ursula K Le Guin.


That is all.
