Ply

'Ply is majestic . . . 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 Atlas These are the last moments of the world as it's always been known. Reality now begins anew. The internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trust turns to America's future with Ply. Centuries 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.
