Before 1984... There was...
We
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—will be subjugated to the beneficent yoke of reason.
One number, D-503, chief architect of the Integral, decides to record his thoughts in the final days before the launch for the benefit of less advanced societies. But a chance meeting with the beautiful I-330 results in an unexpected discovery that threatens everything D-503 believes about himself and the One State. The discovery—or rediscovery— of inner space... and that disease the ancients called the soul.
A page-turning SF adventure, a masterpiece of wit and black humor that accurately predicted the horrors of Stalinism, WE is a classic dystopian novel. Its message of hope and warning is as timely at the end of the twentieth century as it was at the beginning.

Если сравнивать данное произведение с "1984", то оба произведения содержат схожие черты, но именно "Мы" является антиутопическим описанием тоталитарного общества, которое существует в период создания нового государства. Книга "Мы" описывает создание такого государства - она описывает те соображения и мысли, которые Замятие вложил один большой сюжет, которые не только описывает государство, но и мысли главного героя - что он думает, чувствует и чего он хочет.
