About ‘The Peripheral’

Flynne Fisher, her Marine veteran brother, Burton, and their ailing mother live in a rural town in the Blue Ridge Mountains in 2032. As their mother’s health worsens and the medical bills pile up, Flynne and Burton make extra money playing simulations (“Sims”). The two siblings share Burton’s avatar, competing for deep-pocketed customers in the hopes of beating challenging game levels. When Burton is offered a chance to beta test a new Sim, Flynne pretends to be her brother and accepts.

The new Sim takes place in London, and it tasks Flynne with breaking into a corporation known as the Research Institute in order to steal a valuable secret. When the heist goes awry, Flynne begins to realize the game she’s playing is more real than she ever could have imagined. The city she’s exploring is actually London, the London of the future… the year 2099, to be precise. And what Flynne has uncovered in the Research Institute has put her and her family at great risk. There are people from 2099 who want to use Flynne for the information she’s stolen… and there are others who want her dead.
