Hernan Diaz: Ply, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trustturns to the future with a novel that examines the place of technology in our collective imagination.

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. 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.

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. A gripping quest for truth at the dawn of a new era, it charts the boundaries of selfhood, and the distance that stands between us and those we love.
