Now Available for Pre-Order: “2024: Revisited” Graphic Novel

Twenty-four years ago, I wrote and published my “Nineteen Eighty-Four” update/parody “2024,” a graphic novel about a dystopian future of our own making. The book contained my predictions about what 2024 would look like—and guess what? I was mostly right: rather than be oppressed by an intrusive security state (which we have), the real danger to human individuality would come from our personal electronic devices. (And also wrong about some stuff.)

Now that it’s actually 2024, I thought it would be fun to revisit those predictions, which is how “2024: Revisited” was born.

2024: Revisited” adds:

  • Beautiful Full-Color artwork (originally, it was black and white)
  • Annotations explaining references and inspirations
  • A lengthy new Foreword by yours truly.

DMZ America Podcast #88: Is the GOP Racist? Nikki Haley, Taking on Chinese Death Balloons and the Ukraine Quagmire

Editorial Cartoonists Ted Rall (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (from the Right), discuss the pressing issues of the week. First up: a discussion of the presidential candidacy of former South Carolina Governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, which dovetails into the question: is the Republican Party too racist to elect a woman of color? Also, the apparent inevitability of President Trump becoming the 2024 GOP nominee. Following that, Scott and Ted discuss the seemingly nonstop parade of Communist Chinese balloons invading American airspace. Ted offers a never-before-suggested solution (which is his answer to just about everything): FLAME THROWER DRONES! Lastly, Ted and Scott examine next steps in the Ukraine War, which they agree has become a quagmire and could remain one for the next decade.
