In Hernan Diaz's novel 'Ply,' the future depicts a collapsed world order where cities like New York become independent city-states without governance. Wealthy elites live near water, electricity is monopolized by a company called Tensor, and the poor resort to stealing power and queuing for communal water. The story follows a narrator who is a 'pincher,' stealing electricity while observing the underground music scene.
