Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream

"Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream" by John Kendrick Bangs is a funny book from the early 1900s that makes fun of the politics and society of the time. It talks about the idea of the government owning everything and the strange things that can happen because of it, with Alice traveling a strange city called Blunderland, where the government owns and controls all aspects of life. Alice meets familiar characters like the Hatter, the March Hare, and the Cheshire Cat, who are in charge of a city with very strange rules. As Alice experiences the silliness of the government controlling everything – even things like teeth, transportation, poems, and kids – the people of Blunderland have weird ideas about being equal and moving forward. This makes Alice wonder if their way of running things is really smart, and she eventually misses her real home and wakes up from the dream.
