I think I read the three great 20th century dystopia in reverse order - 1984, Brave New World, then We. As such, I found Brave New World very reminiscent of 1984 and We feels the same as Brave New World. I found it an interesting exploration of the risk of destruction of the individual by a totalitarian form of community - something which strikes me as the opposite extreme from the direction of society now, which is moving away from community towards more individualism, as epitomised by Thatcherism, Reaganism and Neoliberalism in general. It deals with this totalitarian communitarianism both in political and religious terms, referencing biblical tales at length, noting God's need for total conformity to rules from Adam and Eve, and how they in turn chose freedom of thought and action.

An interesting, short read, though I found the style a little cumbersome at times.
