We

The novel has interesting and relatable characters, which keeps the story from becoming too ridiculous or unbelievable. Though the use of math in the novel makes the text harder to read and enjoy, it also adds to the story, almost as if rationalizing the reasoning behind the society and the novel itself. The plot itself is original for a post-modern civilization story, and the novel ended with the possibility that this event could happen in cycles with the possibility of an end. Unlike most other stories of ‘utopian’ societies, We did not end with the rebirth of society, which set the novel aside from other related novels. This originality made We a pleasant novel despite D-503’s ramblings and obsessive behavior towards mathematics.
