Description
The Peripheral by William Gibson invites readers into a world of drones, murder, and a time-travelling crime, marking a thrilling return to science fiction from the bestselling author of Neuromancer.
Flynne Fisher resides in a near-future rural America, a place where jobs are scarce, and veterans struggle to recover from the wars. To make ends meet, she engages in some freelance online game-playing, encountering some truly bizarre scenarios.
Meanwhile, Wilf Netherton lives in London, around seventy years later, on the other side of a prolonged apocalypse. In his world, life is promising for those who have wealth, while the presence of have-nots is minimal.
As Flynne and Wilf are about to cross paths, Flynne's world will be profoundly transformed. Even with all its decadence and authority, Wilf's world will come to understand that individuals from the distant past, considered third-world by their standards, can indeed be formidable.
