Factory 19 is a 2020 novel by Australian author Dennis Glover.[1]
The narrator of the story is Paul Ritchey, who developed an allergy to digital technology, and relocates to a fictionalised Hobart.[1] The city had previously been popular tourist attraction due to its "Gallery of Future Art" set up by billionaire Dundas Faussett.[2] The Faussett character has been described as a "David Walsh-like figure.[3] Faussett closes the gallery and Hobart becomes a ghost town. Two years later, Faussett reappears to create "Factory 19", a factory complex with worker residences that are modelled on life in March 1948.[1] In the novel's fictional timeline, the date March 1948 was settled on as it was one month before the RAND corporation introduced its first mainframe computer.[3]
