I look forward to these discussions every week. I'm pretty well read, but several of the stories you've chosen have been new to me, including this one. Looking at dystopian literature across cultures is interesting, e.g., how Zamyatin differs from Orwell, or how Orwell differs from Bradbury or Leiber.
