The Peripheral is a 2014 science fiction mystery-thriller novel by William Gibson set in near- and post-apocalyptic versions of the future. The story focuses on a young rural-town American woman who lives in the near future, and on a London publicist who lives 70 years thereafter. Gibson's 2020 book Agency is set in the same world. A television series adaptation of The Peripheral, produced by Amazon, began streaming in October 2022.
