Stealing electricity from the grid to power the vibrant downtown music scene she adores is a risky occupation, and the city she moves through can be dangerous. She is right to be wary. But 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 scientific experiment that could change the fabric of reality itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet 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. A gripping quest for truth at the dawn of a new historical epoch, it offers us a deep dive into the burden of capitalism, while poignantly charting the boundaries of selfhood, and the distance that stands between us and those we love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Hernan Diaz\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eModern \u0026amp; contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Thriller \/ suspense, Fiction: special features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 24 Sep 2026 by Pan Macmillan.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hernan Diaz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320070119802,"sku":"9781037407161","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781037407161.jpg?v=1790642006","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/ply-9781037407161","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
