The Peripheral by William Gibson (2014) G.P. Putnam's Sons
A dystopian weave of not exactly time travel as murder
mystery. In which a gamer girl takes
over for her marine veteran brother and witnesses a murder in the future. Only it’s not her future since her act splits
her continuum from the future she sees as a peripheral in a manufactured
body. The future continuum wants her to
identify the murderer and not get killed by other people in her own continuum
hired by someone else in the future. The
book is fascinating. The series based on
the characters is also visually fascinating, though the plot is vastly
different.
