  • Summary

  • Today, we’re diving into the mind-bending world of William Gibson’s The Peripheral. Imagine a future where gaming isn’t just a pastime but a portal to another timeline. Our heroine, Flynne Fisher, thinks she’s just filling in for her brother in a virtual reality game. But plot twist! She witnesses a murder that turns out to be very real and very future.

    Meanwhile, in a distant, post-apocalyptic London, we meet Wilf Netherton, a publicist navigating a world where technology has both advanced and regressed in the weirdest ways. These two timelines collide through the use of “peripherals”—avatars that allow people to interact across time. It’s a wild ride of conspiracy, futuristic tech, and the ever-looming question: how much can we really control our destiny?

    So, grab your VR headsets and join us as we unravel the tangled threads of The Peripheral. It’s a tale of two futures, one murder, and a whole lot of sci-fi goodness!
