What this book is about
Michael Dean's graphic novel adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 translates one of literature's definitive dystopian visions into sequential art, making Winston Smith's world of doublethink, surveillance, and psychological destruction visually immediate. The adaptation preserves the novel's essential horror while giving it a new accessibility — and the iconic imagery of Room 101 and the telescreen may be even more visceral in visual form.
