"Ply is majestic. A cracked mirror world, a lot like ours; peopled by survivors, a lot like us; sentences so fine they break the skin; a plot that swerves through loss, love, trust, betrayal, art, science, society and control. Blurbing Ply is like trying to blurb a dream.”—David Mitchell

 

An Indie next Pick

“To build a better world, how deeply must we get into the heads of the people around us? A brainy, challenging, and engrossing trek into a battered but unbeaten future.” —Kirkus Review (STARRED REVIEW)

“Diaz brilliantly envisions how love, trust, and loyalty can remain when freedom and justice have collapsed and makes every page exhilarating and meaningful.” —Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)

“Complex, compassionate and very punk, Hernan Diaz’s Ply is an extraordinary science fiction novel, an optimistic story set in a very cynical future.”—BookPage (STARRED REVIEW)

“A fiercely intelligent look at the future of technology, climate and capitalism that will have you gripped.”—ELLE

“Ply reads like a a gripping dystopian noir; it’s part crime novel, part coming-of-age story, and part treatise on existence itself, and fully unique.”—Chicago Review of Books

“Ply is both a touching story of a young woman's struggle to find security and peace […] and a mind-bending reflection on the nature of time and space. Either story alone would be satisfying, but Diaz cleverly marries them in an intriguing union […] Ply is a big, ambitious novel […] Unquestionably the product of a fertile imaginative intelligence.”—Shelf Awareness

“Ply is a wild ride that ultimately asks what survives when everything around us has collapsed. Strap in!”—Dua Lipa’s Service 95

“Diaz’s tome is full of lush prose, patient world-building, and deep inquiries into technology and identity.”—New York Magazine

“A page-turning, pleasurably disorienting, and deeply humane vision of a possible future.”—Vogue

“Diaz is juggling an ambitious plot and thorny philosophical questions, yet the novel remains compulsively readable, carried along by intricate worldbuilding and strangely gorgeous evocations of ruin […] This is an undeniably broken world, but by the novel’s end you will believe, like our heroine, “that the cracks and fissures in every building and street [are] the sign of something wonderful hatching.”—Oprah Daily
