The showrunners of HBO's acclaimed series Westworld are keeping busy. Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan will adapt The Peripheral, a 2014 sci-fi thriller by William Gibson, as a drama for Amazon Studios, The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.

Gibson's novel alternates between two timelines, one in the near future and one 70 years after that. It's centered on Flynne Fisher, who begins working security shifts inside a virtual world, and starts to interact with a high-powered London publicist, Wilf Netherton, from outside her timeline.
