The Peripheral by William Gibson is a thrilling audiobook about two intertwined futures, from the bestselling author of Neuromancer

In the near future in a broken down rural America, Flynne Fisher scrapes a living as a gamer for rich players. One night, working a game set in a futuristic but puzzlingly empty London, she sees a death that's unnervingly vivid. Soon after she gets word that it isn't a game after all - the future she saw is all too real, she's the only witness to a murder and someone from that unreal tomorrow now wants her dead. The story of a young woman caught between two worlds, The Peripheral interweaves two futures - pre-apocalypse USA and post-apocalypse London - to tell a story which gets right to heart of the way we live now. “Wild, richly satisfying . . . big-screen, popcorn-chewing thrills. What a glorious ride” - Guardian
