William Gibson became famous for his "Cyberspace" trilogy ("Neuromancer", "Count Zero", "Mona Lisa Overdrive"), which became the cornerstone of cyberpunk and defined the face of modern literature for decades to come. The circulation of "Neuromancer" amounted to 6 million copies, but very quickly the genre revolutionary became cramped limits of any genre - and the joint steampunk epic with Bruce Sterling "Difference Machine" was followed by "The Bridge Trilogy" ("Virtual Light", "Idoru", "All the Parties of Tomorrow"), which takes place in a kind of alternate present, and "The Blue Ant Trilogy" ("Pattern Recognition", "Ghostland", "Zero File"), where the usual tools of cyberpunk used to comprehend the day of today.
And then came "Peripherals" - the main visionary of our time finally returned back to the future! It took a long six years to take the next step, but the sequel has more than lived up to expectations. So, meet our contemporary Verity Jane, the app caster. A mysterious company called Tulpagenix assigns her to beta-test an artificial intelligence prototype called Eunice - which, in an alternate XXII century, attracts the attention of Inspector Ainsley Lowbear, already familiar to us from Peripherals. The cutscene in which Verity lives is created by the "hellworld-loving" Vespasian; here, Donald Trump didn't win the presidential election and Britain voted to stay in the European Union - but the hybrid war in Syria is fraught with a global and most anything but hot conflict. "Unis" and Verity are the agents of influence who may be able to save the world... For the first time in Russian!
