Prosthetics
Prosthetics have transformed the lives of countless individuals, allowing them to regain mobility and independence. In the novel “We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin, prosthetics play a significant role in shaping society’s perception of perfection and conformity. The citizens of OneState are all fitted with identical prosthetic limbs, seamlessly integrated into their bodies to enhance efficiency and eliminate any physical imperfections. These prosthetics serve as tools for physical improvement and as symbols of uniformity and control within the rigidly structured society. By blurring the line between man and machine, Zamyatin explores themes of identity, autonomy, and individualism in a world where technology dictates every aspect of human existence. Through the lens of prosthetics, “We” challenges readers to consider the consequences of sacrificing humanity for societal harmony.
