Translated from the Russian.

"Inside its glass dome the One State is a place of mathematical precision, a community where everything is everyone's, and integrity, clarity, and unerring loyalty reign over all. Δ-503, Constructor of the Integral, is an honest number, ashamed of the hairy hands that link him to a barbaric ancestry. It is this forbidden legacy that torments him by making him lust, that allows him to imagine, that has given him a soul. Consumed by his sickness and obsessed with the seductive and mysterious I-330, Δ-503 is led by his new lover outside the Wall, where he colludes in a plot to overthrow the Benefactor. As the Benefactor retaliates by ordering a state-administered Operation to return order to the perfect world, Δ-503 find himself fighting for the primitive and natural state of chaos - and rebelling against what he once held true."--From goodreads.com.
