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 acclaimed activist artist Badiucao, often dubbed "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 people will go to fight for freedom. It's 2035. The US and China are at war; America is a proto-fascist state; Taiwan is divided. As conflict escalates between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths—Andy, Maggie, and Olivia—who met in Hong Kong, grapple with diverging beliefs on navigating this techno-authoritarian world. Their journeys toward transformative change force them to confront the extent of their commitment to freedom and the sacrifices they must make. A powerful and important book about global totalitarian futures and the price of resistance.
