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] 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]
