By using a server that allows digital information to transfer like time travel, he discovers that the drone Flynne was piloting was the only witness of Aelita's murder. Wilf was the one who hired Burton for the security job, which was actually a gift for his client Daedra West's sister Aelita. He survived an apocalyptic event known as "The Jackpot,” where 80% of humanity and most animals were wiped off the face of the earth. Not sure whether what she saw was real or fiction, Flynne is soon contacted by Wilf Netherton, a publicist that lives in 2099. Whilst operating a drone, Flynne witnesses the murder of a woman. Burton, a United States Marine Corps veteran, skips his shift at his new VR security job and lets his sister, a professional gamer, take his place. Starring Chlöe Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor as Flynne and Burton Fisher, this cyberpunk-infused story follows the siblings in 2032. Some of his work, like Johnny Mnemonic and New Rose Hotel, have been adapted into films, but it was his 2014 book The Peripheral that caught the attention of Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Prime Video’s widely discussed sci-fi series The Peripheral comes directly from the mind of William Gibson, often considered to be the godfather of the cyberpunk genre. Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for The Peripheral book and TV show.
