About the plot
The action takes place in the future, when technology has quietly changed society. A woman named Flynn Fisher discovers a secret connection to an alternate reality, as well as her own dark future. She's trying to piece together the pieces of her broken family in tomorrow's forgotten corner of America. Flynn is smart, ambitious, but doomed. She has no future until the future itself calls her.
This is a magnificent hallucinatory view of the fate of humanity and what lies beyond from the main storyteller William Gibson.
The series is an adaptation of the 2014 fantasy thriller novel by writer William Gibson. The story includes several storylines:
- Flynn Fisher lives on a country road in rural America. There are few job opportunities outside of illegal drug production. Her brother Burton lives on money from the Marine Corps Veterans Administration with neurological damage. Flynn makes a living as best he can, working at a local 3D print shop and occasionally getting addicted to online virtual reality games.
- Wilf Netherton lives in London seventy-odd years later, beyond decades of slow motion apocalypse. For the haves, things are going well now, and there are not many have-nots left. Wilf is an influential publicist and public figure. Considers himself a romantic loser in a society where peering into the past is just another hobby.
- Burton secretly moonlights online, doing security in some kind of prototype game, a strange virtual world that vaguely resembles London. He brings Flynn into it, promising her that the game is not a shooter. But one day a woman becomes a witness to one almost real crime.
- Flynn and Wilf are going to meet. Her world will change irrevocably.
