Hernan Diaz is theSunday Timesbestselling author ofTrust, which won the Pulitzer Prize and was longlisted for the Booker Prize. It was named one ofThe New York Times's 100 Best Books of the Century.
His previous novel,In the Distance, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award. He has received the John Updike Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Kirkus Award, a Whiting Award, and a fellowship from the New York Public Library's Cullman Center.
Now, Hernan joined us forPly, 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 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.
