"For a Commoner, Charles Lowell lived the comfortable life of a Onelevel Academic and Piecematch Hero, indifferent to the oppressions that plagued his brethren until TheFounder, the absolute ruler of FounderLand, decreed him a subversive."

In the nearest future, the president declares himself TheFounder and christens the nation FounderLand. Democracy is abolished, and the Constitution is abandoned in favor of the Diktats. Companions replace citizens in castes of Privileged, Commoners, and Deplored. The Department of Law and Order surveils actions, monitors thoughts, limits vocabulary, and restricts memories. Fear is constant, duplicity is endemic, and trust is extinct. Friendships are unknown, and family is an expediency. Love and loyalty are foregone.

A dystopian novel in the tradition of1984, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Darkness at Noon, FounderLand offers a bleak vision of a world void of love and honor but rife with betrayal and vengeance. It tells the tale of Charles Lowell's attempt to join a cadre of revolutionaries dedicated to the violent overthrow of TheFounder, and his betrayal at the hands of his lover and closest friend. Taken to the Tower for interrogation, Lowell denounces everyone he knows and is condemned to suffer attachment to the Machine until he’s perfected, no longer capable of threatening TheFounder.
