In Patrick Allington’s Rise &amp; Shine, an environmental apocalypse has wiped out most of the population. Those that survive are nourished – literally – by the consumption of violent footage from the perpetual war waged between the two city-states of Rise and Shine. In Dennis Glover’s Factory 19, a Walshian figure leads a willing cohort back to the future to an enclave in Tasmania, where they search for happiness in an industrialised past. Both books offer surreal and darkly satirical takes on leadership, humanity and the common good. Chaired by Geordie Williamson

AWW21 Future Awry with Patrick Allington and Dennis Glover

Dani Powell

Dystopian novels can be a little unsettling given the current global climate but Patrick Allington provides an insight into what we will consume in the future and how we will sate our appetites in his novel, Rise and Shine. Where there is life there is death, but how do different communities and individuals handle grief? Dani Powell has set 'Return to Dust' in and around Alice Springs.
