Back in the year 2000, Ted Rall wrote and drew his graphic novel, 2024. 2024 was a loving parody and update of George Orwell’s dystopian classic Nineteen Eighty-Four. It was also an attempt to predict what society would look and feel like 24 years in the future. This was a time when one-third of Americans still relied on dial-up landline phone connections to access the Internet. The Blackberry, the first device we would recognize as a smartphone, came out in 2002. The iPhone wouldn’t be introduced for seven more years; a Nokia cellphone where you pulled up the antenna to make a call was the best you could buy. Few people imagined what was about to happen to us. But Rall did. Rall foresaw a country whose citizens would become addicted to their phones, computers and other electronic devices. He saw a media environment developing where no journalism could be trusted because digital content would be intrinsically mutable, which would erase old consequences for being caught lying or making mistakes. Relationships between friends, lovers and colleagues would become so replaceable as to become valueless, rendering old values like loyalty and integrity obsolete. Anti-intellectualism, as old as America itself, would become the undisputed dominant paradigm of the 21st century. 2024 Revised is an expanded and enhanced edition of Rall’s prescient work from a quarter-century ago, now fully colorized for the first time. It also includes Rall’s detailed annotations of the text that elucidate references to politics, history and pop culture. There’s also a lengthy brand-new foreword. The future is now. 2024 Revised is a fun trip into retrofuturism. What did Rall get right? What did he miss?
