Joe's school has stopped teaching. His math teacher says AI calculates better. His history teacher says the government prefers people not know history. His science teacher explains that whether the Earth orbits the sun is now just a matter of opinion. So Joe goes to sleep, hoping tomorrow will be better, and wakes up at the edge of a road in No-Where Land, riding in a yellow convertible driven by a talking dog named Digital. Together with Digital and Stephen Goodbert, the exiled host of a banned late-night comedy show, Joe travels through a kingdom ruled by King Dump, where words are sold at market, colors are regulated by race, billionaires receive 99% of the gold from the mines, and the Department of Health's official motto is Eradicate wisdom. Ignorance is bliss. What begins as a tour of absurdity becomes something more urgent: someone has to overturn Dump's rule, free the imprisoned, and rouse a nation that has forgotten what wisdom looks like. Dump's Kingdom is a satirical allegory in the tradition of The Phantom Tollbooth, written for readers of all ages who believe that ordinary people, acting together, can do more than they imagine, especially when they don't yet know it's impossible.f work comedian set out to try. They discover that even the most powerful rulers can be challenged when ordinary people find the courage to stick together.
