- cookie_monsta 5y agoMeaning that Zamyatin got it wrong, too?
- 5cott0 5y agoYeah, We is actually pretty bad.
- cookie_monsta 5y agoThe question isn't which is better or more original, the question is which predicted the future better. If you say neither because they copied We, it stands to reason that We didn't get it right either, nothing about good or bad. There's plenty of great SF with terrible "predictions" and vice versa.
- 5cott0 5y agowhatever
- pharmakom 5y agoPlagiarised is totally the wrong word here. Besides, We is satirical so quite different in tone. I greatly enjoyed all three novels though, and encourage people to read them all :)
- 5cott0 5y agoIt's almost the exact same plot as 1984 in a different sci-fi setting. But yeah sure, pedantically speaking it's not exactly plagiarism but it's not exactly original either.
