A cracked mirror world, a lot like ours; peopled by survivors, a lot like us; sentences so fine they break the skin; a plot that swerves through loss, love, trust, betrayal, art, science, society and control.' - David Mitchell, author of Cloud AtlasThese are the last moments of the world as it's always been known. Reality now begins anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trust turns to America's future with Ply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCenturies from now, an orphan adrift in an American city grows up to become a pincher – someone who steals electricity from the grid to sell it on the black market or, in her case, to power the underground music scene she adores. It is a high-risk life, and now she is being followed. Soon, she is drawn into a paranoid maze where her closest friends and even her own identity are put into question – all while following a thread leading to a groundbreaking experiment that, if she can source the electricity to power it, could change the fabric of reality itself. Set in a future filled with both uncertainty and promise, Ply is a powerfully humane novel that interrogates the role of technology in a deeply changed society. Both an electrifying thriller and a profound novel of ideas, it offers a hopeful glimpse of a new world that may be growing out of the cracks and fissures we see all around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for Hernan Diaz's Trust:'Brilliant' – The Telegraph'Exhilarating' – Vogue'Genius' – The Observer'Enthralling' – Daily Mail'Hugely entertaining' - Financial Times'Fascinating . . . unpredictable, clever and massively enjoyable' – Sunday Times'What a radiant, profound and moving novel' - Lauren Groff, author of Matrix'Glints with wonder and knowledge and mystery' - Rachel Kushner, author of Creation Lake'[A] complex and thrilling book . . .
