While the system is not exactly the same as that described in We, the result is much more dramatic, since a far greater number of Americans are disenfranchised.

As I mentioned above, We was not the first dystopian work that I encountered. However, it was the first dystopian work that I encountered, for the first time, in a post 9-11 world. What shocked me was not how far OneState was from modern American society, but the startling similarities that the two share. While modern life is not strictly limited in by tables and graphs, personal liberties have been restricted at an alarming rate. This is not mitigated by the fact that the trend in the last 75 years had been an increase in personal liberties.
A free society is characterized by an expansion of civil liberties. For example, most democracies begin with powerful males having the right to vote, and that right trickles down to women and minorities. It is when civil liberties begin to contract that one can see real threats to liberty in a society. Reading We reminds me of the dangers society faces if we continue to allow our government to erode our personal liberties, trading safety and the false sense of happiness it instills, for our freedom.
