WE are I

To start off that ending was pretty depressing, I just like to point out the obvious there. I have not quite understood though what exactly the "Operation" is . I get that it removes the soul, but I kind of want to the actual procedure. Is it like a brainwashing program, or an electro-therapy, my logical guess though is that it is a lobotomy. I think this because it was a procedure that was being tested at the time, and it had some affect to make people not be the same anymore. Which would explain why D-503 said that he did not write any of the pass entries and why he did not recognize I-330. What I liked the most in these part of the book was how the Glass Wall broke, just like how the Iron Curtain fell too, I swear Zamyatin can tell the future.
