Banned and Cancelled is a dystopian historical fiction book series by author J.B. Schaefer. Centered on the question of what might happen if people do nothing in the face of growing political control, the series uses an imagined future to explore the consequences of erasing history and restricting individual freedoms. Its first novel follows Byron, whose challenge to the ruling Party puts him and his family at risk. In a society organized around a unified Collective, he faces indoctrination while drawing on knowledge of his family’s past and American history to survive. His story also intersects with the beginnings of a revolution.

The series includes Banned and Cancelled, Volume II: Rebirth, and Volume III: Curtains. The books are presented as suspenseful stories of survival that draw on historical themes to offer a warning about unchecked power, censorship, and political indifference.
