Premise.
"The Peripheral" centers on Flynne Fisher, a woman trying to hold together the pieces of her broken family in a forgotten corner of tomorrow's America. Flynne is smart, ambitious, and doomed. She has no future, until the future comes calling for her. "The Peripheral" is master storyteller William Gibson's dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.
