Dumb College tells the story of Veena Singh, a woman fighting the American society bent on eliminating all paper books, storing the text electronically, and "weeding out" the undesirable, politically incorrect, and religious text.
Veena is an exile, sent to America by her Indian professors to study the American decline in 2054. In her time, the authoritarian nations of Southeast Asia and Russia lead the world, as America and Europe flounder. Veena's Indian professors are baffled by reports from underground American academicians. A critical human-readable message emanated from what appeared to be the Big Bang. But nearly every American university has summarily ignored this "postcard from God."
At her Arkansas college, Dorothy Underwood Multiversity, Veena observes America's intelligentsia and brightest youth. She meets hypocritical deans and professors, and she lives among the humanities students, who blindly follow the professors. For her thesis, Veena's American professors order her to help find the "right-wing cabal" that threatens to end college admissions quotas forever. Meanwhile, she faces three stalkers and the threat of immediate deportation.
Dumb College blends humor, rich characters, and intellectual intrigue in the story of Veena's fight to save Western religion, literature, philosophy and art, and her search for the message from God.
