We are, in many respects, living in the world Gibson envisioned, including the way every innovation gets redirected to new ends, some inventive and some destructive.Īdapted from Gibson's 2014 novel of the same name (the first in a proposed trilogy), The Peripheral expands the notion of what "the street" means. (In the same story, Gibson coins the term "cyberspace.") The line concisely summarizes how technology gets repurposed and used in ways its inventors never intended. "The street finds its own uses for things," William Gibson wrote in his 1982 short story "Burning Chrome," one of the foundational texts of science fiction's cyberpunk branch.
