Ply: Hernan Diaz's future facing novel gets a UK hardback date

Picador lists the exact UK hardback for September 24, but its page still says preorder; verify retailer stock before visiting a shop.

Pan Macmillan lists 24 September 2026 for the UK hardback of Ply , Hernan Diaz's new future-set novel. Its exact Picador edition page gives ISBN 9781037407161 and 464 pages . The same page still presents a preorder action on September 26, so the date should be read as the publisher's stated publication date, not proof

of immediate stock at every shop. Centuries ahead, the novel follows an orphan who steals electricity from a city grid to sell on the black market and power an underground music scene. She becomes entangled with an experiment that might alter reality itself. Diaz, whose earlier novel Trust won the Pulitzer Prize, uses

that premise to explore technology, control and the possibility of a different future. Readers comparing editions should use the exact UK ISBN and check local delivery or shelf status before ordering.
