I think that We uses both the biographical and historical. It is biographical because the book is somewhat based off of the author Yevgeny Zamyatin's life. Zamyatin was an engineer, and so he can relate to D-503 since he is a mathematician. It is historical because it is based off of the events that happened in Russia, and then Communism that the Russians faced. I think that between these two strategies the most important one would be historical, because even though you can relate We to Zamyatin's life, the events that happened in Russia is what made this book even happen.
