I've only skimmed through the "Plot" section because I might read this in the future and I don't want to be spoiled, but doesn't this sound a lot like 1984?

The Wikipedia article discusses the extensive similarities between the story and Aldus Huxley's Brave New World, another dystopian novel. Huxley claims not to have been familiar with We when he conceived of BNW.

Orwell himself made the claim that Huxley must've known of We, so yes, Orwell certainly knew the work. From TFA:

Orwell began Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) some eight months after he read We in a French translation and wrote a review of it.[28] Orwell is reported as "saying that he was taking it as the model for his next novel".

Yes, both novels derive from "We". In some sense "Brave New World" more so because despite being oppressive, the society of "We" isn't impoverished; everyone is materially well off and fed. But it does have the "love is inherently revolutionary" angle that "1984" uses.
