William Gibson became famous for his Cyberspace trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive), which became the cornerstone of cyberpunk and determined the face of modern literature for decades to come. The circulation of “Neuromancer” amounted to 6 million copies, but very quickly the boundaries of any genre became cramped for the genre revolutionary - and the steampunk epic “The Difference Machine”, together with Bruce Sterling, was followed by “The Bridge Trilogy” (“Virtual Light”, “Idoru”, “Everything” Party of Tomorrow"), which takes place in a kind of alternative present, and the "Blue Ant Trilogy" ("Pattern Recognition", "Ghostland", "Zero File"), where the usual tools of cyberpunk are used to comprehend the present day. And then came "Peripherals" - the main visionary of our time finally returned back to the future! It took six long years to take the next step, but the sequel more than lived up to expectations. So, meet our contemporary Verity Jane, the app whisperer. The mysterious company Tulpagenix entrusts her with beta testing of an artificial intelligence prototype called "Unis" - which, in an alternative 22nd century, attracts the attention of Inspector Ainsley Lowbeer, already familiar to us from "Peripherals". The slice in which Verity lives was created by the "lover of hellish worlds" Vespasian; here Donald Trump did not win the presidential election and Britain voted to remain in the European Union, but the hybrid war in Syria is fraught with a global and hottest conflict. “Eunice” and Verity are the agents of influence who may be able to save the world...For the first time in Russian!
