This book is an adult dystopian graphic novel. It is based upon 1984 by George Orwell. I can't really say I enjoyed the novel as it is very grim. The art style is dark. The art is well done. It is years since I read the original 1984 so I cannot say how well the artist captured the words of the original. As with many books with sci-fi elements, the technological parts didn't age very well. It is an interesting read. It didn't really make me want to go back and read the original 1984 though.
Graphic: Torture and Classism
Moderate: Sexism
