Peripheral Devices

From the acclaimed author of «The Difference Engine» and three of the most influential trilogies («CyberSpace», «The Bridge Trilogy», «The Trilogy of the „Blue Ant“»)! The main visionary of modernity has finally returned to the future! Burton served in the Marine Corps, in the elite unit of the First Haptic Reconnaissance. When he returned from the war, he was not found to have post-traumatic syndrome, but he was granted a disability pension. And then he had a secret side job: testing a new computer game. But one day he needed to go to a neighboring city, and he asked his sister Flynn to replace him for the next beta testing session. Nothing complicated, they said: you patrol the perimeter of three floors of a high-rise building on a quadcopter and chase away paparazzi dragonflies. But Flynn was not prepared for what she would see there — whether it was just a game or a real murder. And where is it — there?.. In the fall of 2022, Amazon Prime Video released a series based on this novel — and just a week later, «Peripheral Devices» became the most popular project on the service, even surpassing «The Rings of Power». The series was developed by Lisa Joy, Jonathan Nolan, and Vincenzo Natali, with the main roles played by Chloë Grace Moretz, Gary Carr, and Jack Reynor. A second season has already been announced for 2023.
