Summary: Read 1984 first
Comment: This graphic novel is basically just a satire of "1984". The storyline is kind of erratic, but if you have read "1984" you will completely understand what is going on. "2024" is a humorous prediction from Ted Rall on what the future will be like. Instead of Big Brother watching, it is us who are watching each other, and it is scary look at what the future will be like. Of course since it is Ted Rall, this sad look at the future of society is completely hilarious. If you've read "1984" and are a fan of Ted Rall or just curious, then by all means purchase this book. The only downfall of this book is that it is sort of short but it is still a funny read.

Summary: Warning - Not In Line With Authetic Bible Teachings
Comment: The titular numerals, "2024", are not meant to correspond to any cryptic biblical reference. Do not be fooled. Ted Rall may be trying to hide secret anti-christian codes in this book and if you buy it you are only abetting Satan. The Bible teaches us that by the year 2024 the real world will not be a cartoon like it is represented in this book. On the other hand, the jokes are funny, especially how he names the lead character, "Winston". I had a dachshund named Winston when I was a boy. Dogs don't live long and there was no way this one would ever live to the year 2024.

Summary: An absolute "must-read" for postmodern deconstructionists
Comment: 2024 portrays a very real 21st century "neopostmodern" world run by totalitarian corporations and constant trade wars. Those who engage in the paramount crime of software piracy are punished by the state, yet there is always the threat of state-sponsored downsizing and demotion, and through that -- death. Rall's stark, simplistic drawings present the age-old human drama without cluttering or getting in the way of the compelling narrative, which is both faithful to the Orwellian plot, but presenting everything within a context that may as well be the Enron/Arthur Anderson world of today. 2024 is an absolute "must-read" for postmodern deconstructionists, as well as anyone who has every enjoyed or seriously studied George Orwell's "1984".
