Books like Our Dumb World by Onion Editors


Onion Editors spin a tongue‑in‑cheek take on international geography in this news‑parody compendium. Covering every independent nation from Afghanistan to Ukraine, the book pairs maps with “incorrect” statistics designed to amuse and misinform. It rounds out its mock‑encyclopedic approach with a quirky collection of rejected flag designs and a catalog of the world’s most annoying handicrafts, offering readers a playful critique of data, politics, and the way we represent places.
