The Peripheral, written by William Gibson, is a mind-bending bioengineering science fiction novel that combines elements of cyberpunk and time travel. The story is set in two different futures, one ravaged by climate change and the other dominated by advanced bioengineering. The book follows the lives of Flynne Fisher, a young woman living in a small town, and Wilf Netherton, a publicist from the bioengineered future. As their paths intertwine, the novel explores themes of technology, identity, and the consequences of bioengineering on society.
