Description

The Peripheral by William Gibson is a gripping sci-fi thriller that explores a terrifying future. In rural America, Flynne Fisher's life is marked by scarcity and desperation, while her brother Burton lives in luxury thanks to his work as a security consultant for a virtual world that eerily resembles London. As Flynne becomes embroiled in a mysterious online game, she witnesses crimes that challenge everything she thought she knew about the world. Meanwhile, Wilf Netherton, a high-powered publicist, is drawn into this same virtual reality, where he must confront the harsh realities of a society that has lost touch with its past. This gripping novel takes readers on a journey to two vastly different worlds, one of technological decay and the other of decadent power.
