Is The Peripheral Based On A Book?
Yes, The Peripheral is from the pages of the book of the same name which William Gibson wrote and released in 2014. It is set in a near-apocalyptic version of the future. The Peripheral follows Flynne Fisher and her brother Burton, a marine veteran, who was hired for a security job unlike any other. It is in a place where he thought of as a cyberspace, but Flynne took over and she saw what possible could be murder. There are a few tweaks in the series, of course, where the show involves their dying mother. It is in year 2023, in the small town of Blue Ridge Mountains and Flynne and Burton are looking for ways for their mother’s medications unlike in the book where Burton has cybernetic implants.
