You Must Take Part in Revolution marks the comic book debut of both Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan (based in Los Angeles and Berlin) and activist artist Badiucao, often called "China's Banksy."

Here's the official synopsis:

From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao comes a near-future dystopian graphic novel exploring technology, authoritarian government, and the lengths individuals will go to fight for freedom.

Set in 2035, amidst a US-China war and a proto-fascist America, the story follows three idealistic youths who met in Hong Kong. Their diverging beliefs on navigating this techno-authoritarian world shape their journeys toward transformative change. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia each confront the costs of fighting for freedom and the transformations they undergo in the process.

A powerful and important exploration of global totalitarian futures and the sacrifices of resistance.
