“Plastic” is a category for books that treat plastic both as a material and a metaphor for contemporary life—malleable, mass-produced, seductive, and enduring. It gathers fiction, nonfiction, and hybrid works that probe the paradox of durability and disposability, following plastic’s lifecycle from lab to factory to checkout aisle to ocean gyre, and exploring the “plasticity” of identity, memory, and bodies in a technology-saturated culture. Expect corporate histories, environmental reportage, design and cultural criticism, and speculative or realist narratives of reinvention, waste, and the uncanny artificial. The tone ranges from glossy optimism about innovation and adaptability to the toxic aftermath of consumer excess, asking what it means to live in, on, and through the synthetic—how we shape it, how it shapes us, and what lingers when the shine wears off.
