What is The Peripheral?
Created by Scott B. Smith, The Peripheral is described as a “dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.” The upcoming series from Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films promises to be a wild cyberpunk ride. Gibson is the father of the science-fiction sub-genre which explores transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and cyberspace.
The novel follows Flynne Fisher (Moretz), who lives in a small town in rural America where she takes care of her chronically ill mother and can’t quite hold down a job. Her brother Burton (Reynor) is a veteran of the Marine Corps’ elite Haptic Recon force, though he suffers from glitches as a result of the military’s tinkering. He’s hired for a security job that he thinks takes place in cyberspace, but soon discovers it may be closer to reality. He asks Flynne, a talented gamer, to fill in for him. She witnesses what is either a horrifying twist in the online game’s plot or possibly murder.
