The internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trust turns to America's future with Ply, an extraordinary thriller and novel of ideas.
Centuries from now, an orphan adrift in an American city grows up to become a pincher. Stealing electricity from the grid to power the downtown music scene she adores is a risky occupation, and the city she moves through is dangerous. Someone is following her. Soon, the pincher 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 an extraordinary scientific experiment that could change the fabric of reality itself.
Set in a future filled with both uncertainty and promise, Ply is a deeply moving novel that interrogates the role of technology in a changed society. Combining Dickensian odyssey, family drama, and scientific thriller, Ply charts the tenuous boundaries of selfhood and the distance that inevitably stands between us and those we love.
