{"product_id":"the-factory","title":"The Factory","description":"Beyond the town, there is the factory. Beyond the factory, there is nothing.\n\nWithin the sprawling industrial complex, three employees are assigned to different departments. There, each must focus on a specific task: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. As they grow accustomed to the routine and co-workers, their lives become governed by their work. Days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin? What’s going on with the strange animals here? And after a while – it could be weeks or years – the three workers struggle to answer the most basic question: what am I doing here?\n\nWith hints of Kafka and Beckett and unexpected moments of creeping humour, The Factory is a vivid, and sometimes surreal, portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.","brand":"Granta Publication","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024070037820,"sku":"ogqwk6ah8kzjor98if45ouqe","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/3468\/5756\/files\/9781803510590-1.jpg?v=1787757264","url":"https:\/\/knizhka.us\/products\/the-factory","provider":"Книжка US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
