Description

It’s 2035. The US and China are at war. America is a proto-fascist state. Taiwan is divided into two. As conflict escalates between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths who first met in Hong Kong develop diverging beliefs about how best to navigate this techno-authoritarian landscape.

Andy, Maggie, and Olivia travel different paths toward transformative change, each confronting to what extent they will fight for freedom, and who they will become in doing so. A powerful and important book about global totalitarian futures, and the costs of resistance.

You Must Take Part in Revolution illustrates not only the complexities of resisting authoritarianism but also the personal cost involved in the struggle for freedom.

About the Author

Melissa Chan is an Emmy-nominated Hong Kong and Taiwanese American foreign correspondent based between Los Angeles and Berlin. She was previously posted in China until she became the first journalist in more than a decade to be expelled by the Chinese authorities in 2012. She has written for The New York Times where she was nominated for a Loeb Award—business journalism’s highest honour—and The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Time, The Guardian, and more. She reported for VICE News Tonight and Al Jazeera. This is her debut graphic novel.

Badiucao is a two-times-Walkley Award-winning Chinese Australian artist, activist, and political provocateur. His cartoons are regularly published in the Age. One of the most popular and prolific creatives from China, he confronts a variety of social and political issues in his work, often using satire to tackle censorship, authoritarianism, and capitalism. He has exhibited in the US, Australia, and throughout Europe. He has been interviewed by The Washington Post, The Guardian, Time, CNN, NBC, and others. The New York Times and CBS News’s 60 Minutes profiled him. In 2020, Badiucao won the Human Rights Foundation’s Václav Havel International Prize for Creative Dissent. Badiucao currently lives in exile in Australia. This is his debut graphic novel. @badiucao on X and Instagram.
