Eight months after reading ''We'', Creator/GeorgeOrwell sat down and started writing ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'' as a direct cultural translation of the story. Both Orwell and Creator/KurtVonnegut (who based ''Literature/PlayerPiano'' on ''We'') have accused Aldous Huxley of stealing the plot of ''We'' for ''Literature/BraveNewWorld'', although Huxley always denied it. Creator/AynRand's ''Literature/{{Anthem}}'' is uncannily similar to ''We''. Last but not least, ''We'' heavily influenced ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' in all its campy glory, so much that it could very well be considered an over-the-top ''We: The Movie''.

* StrawVulcan:
** The One State is apparently a PlanetOfHats of Straw Vulcans; D-503 experiences a LogicBomb in the form of the square root of -1, which he considers unfitting for a mathematically rigorous world.
** One should also consider that the use of (-1)^0.5 is not quite right when it comes to mathematics, though it will only be evident to (and matter for) people with at least a college education.
** Plus, as a mathematician, D-503 knows that if you multiply ''i'' by ''i'', then the result is the completely rational integer -1. This probably explains his CharacterDevelopment.
