More DescriptionWE is considered a precursor to George Orwell's 1984, a novel which explore similar themes of a domineering government and a disengaged future society with a fantasy-realism element. Being a productive member of this society is the equivalent of being a machine: unemotional, consistent, and scheduled. Certain hours are reserved for sleep and exercise in order to be a more productive worker for the ""one state,"" and even relationships are organized to be unemotional and streamlined. It follows the fictional story of a mathematician, D-503. He accidentally falls in love with the revolutionary I-330, who is working to bring down ""the state"" and the wall separating them from the rest of the world.
