About This Item
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some light wear. Inside covers are toned. Light foxing to the top edge. Introduction by Peter Rudy. Preface by Marc Slonim. A continuingly relevant novel of mass surveillance, conformity, Taylorism, and scientism run amok. Serving as a template for both 1984 and Brave New World, the dystopian world of We includes state-mandated psycho-surgeries that eliminate creativity and emotion and create 'tractors in human form'. Powerfully understated half-title on this mid-century edition of the book's first English translation (1924) by psychoanalyst-to-the-stars Gregory Zilboorg (His clients included Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Merton, Moss Hart, and Lillian Hellman). Features comic expressionist cover design by 'left-handed designer' Seymour Chwast, who Steven Heller notes is known for 'his ability to wed sophistication to pop and pop to old and new vernaculars.' 218 pp.
