In the 1950s, therefore, the leaders of the Soviet Communist Party became thrilled about the new science of cybernetics, which by its nature seemed to translate into a language permeated with an aura of truth, correctness, objectivity – a language therefore perfectly fitting the socialist utopia. Evgeny Zamyatin had described it well in advance in his novel “We” (1920), which – as its translator Alessandro Niero writes – has been "baptised and renamed several times: anti-utopia, negative utopia, dystopia or even anti-anti-utopia". It is a truly essential work of the genre and not only (which, in this writer's opinion, far outshines the much more famous “1984”), in which everything becomes transparent, erasing any individual boundary through the permeability of glass. Hence the glazed tower block in Kiev, hosting the renowned Institute of Cybernetics.
