Ply

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trust turns to the future with a novel that examines the place of technology in our collective imagination. '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 AtlasThese 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.'Ply is a wild ride' - Service95'I highly recommend [it]' - Sarah Jessica Parker'Compulsively readable' - Oprah DailyReaders are blown away by Ply:'It shook my soul the way only true art can''My favorite book of this year''In my view, he is perhaps the most important novelist of this century''What a phenomenal, ambitious novel''Rarely has a novel left me feeling that my relationship with the universe itself has subtly changed''A masterfully creative work of fiction'
