Is this the novel of our times? In fact, You Must Take Part in Revolution is a graphic novel, one for a new generation that likely prefers more images and fewer words, and it explores a near-future dystopia shaped by a US–China war, in which America has become a proto-fascist state. Timely, isn’t it? You Must Take Part in Revolution comes from Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and acclaimed dissident artist Badiucao. While it's impossible to ignore the parallels with today’s world, Melissa emphasizes that the book is not meant to be instructional or educational. It’s meant to entertain. And I can attest to that, so read it! Are you curious what inspired Melissa and Badiucao to create this book, and why the title is drawn from a Mao Zedong quote? Listen to our conversation.
