The state has been dismantled, and humans are reinventing social bonds and learning new ways to coexist with nature. Following a childhood defined by loss, survival, and found family, the orphan grows up to become a \"pincher,\" someone who steals electricity from the grid to sell it on the black market. It's a high-risk life, one that brings her into a rich downtown art and music scene where she powers underground concerts. It also leads her to a colossal scientific invention that could be either a contraption devised by a deranged mind or a machine that will change the very fabric of reality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter rewriting America's past with his two previous novels, Hernan Diaz now gives us a glimpse into the future. \u003ci\u003ePly\u003c\/i\u003e questions the place of technology in the American experiment with a plot that grabs both heart and mind.
