We’re told that the future will be brighter. But what if human happiness really lies in the past?

In the spirit of George Orwell comes a darkly funny satire on technology, the gig economy and the smartphone – and what would happen if we re-created a world without them. Factory 19 is the satirical dystopia from acclaimed writer Dennis Glover, coming in November 2020.

‘Savagely hilarious and unlike anything else you’ll read this year. It boils with the anger of the present moment.’ —Rohan Wilson
