The Peripheral

The Peripheral

William Gibson returns with his first novel since 2010â‚¬s New York Timesâ‚¬â€œbestselling Zero History.

Where Flynne and her brother, Burton, live, jobs outside the drug business are rare. Fortunately, Burton has his veteranâ‚¬s benefits, for neural damage he suffered from implants during his time in the USMCâ‚¬s elite Haptic Recon force. Then one night Burton has to go out, but thereâ‚¬s a job heâ‚¬s supposed to doâ‚¬"a job Flynne didnâ‚¬t know he had. Beta-testing part of a new game, he tells her. The job seems to be simple: work a perimeter around the image of a tower building. Little buglike things turn up. Heâ‚¬s supposed to get in their way, edge them back. Thatâ‚¬s all there is to it. Heâ‚¬s offering Flynne a good price to take over for him. What she sees, though, isnâ‚¬t what Burton told her to expect. It might be a game, but it might also be murder.
