Trey Knowles’ Pinocchio, Brainiac, America is an allegorical story that explores disobedience and deception. Through Pinocchio’s choices, the story shows how Brainiac seeks control and authority by misleading others. Knowles emphasizes that people themselves are not the true enemy; rather, they are deceived by their real enemy, Brainiac. The story stresses the importance of obedience to God in order to avoid deception and draws a parallel between Pinocchio’s downfall and the moral and spiritual decline of America.
