Happy birthday to the father of modern dystopian fiction,
Yevgeny Zamyatin (1 February, 1884 - 10 March, 1937)!
“It is said there are flowers that bloom only once in a hundred years. Why should there not be some that bloom once in a thousand, in ten thousand years? Perhaps we never know about them simply because this 'once in a thousand years' has come today.”
― Yevgeny Zamyatin,
We (1924)
