Book Talk: "We" was the fascinating inspiration for famous dystopias 🤯

Thank you for bringing some of the older books back and also giving the great non-english authors recognition. Michael K. Vaughan did a video entitled "The Top 20 Greatest Novels Ever Written", (I know, total hubris, right). His choices were good and he got in some Russians but he completely ignored the German contribution to literature. I posted a comment and a list of who he missed.

Thanks! I am discovering more and more books I wish more people would know, there is so much available in translation. And I like reading books from different time periods very much, it is often so interesting.

Imagining the book as you’ve explained it makes me think of the movie “Equals”.

Interesting, I haven't watched "Equals", but it might be similar. Some parts about the feelings reminded me almost of "Equilibirium", although they take a pill against emotions, if I remember correctly.
