Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox book Agency is a science fiction novel by American-Canadian writer William Gibson, released on January 21, 2020.[1]

It is a 'sequel and a prequel'[2] to his previous novel The Peripheral (2014), reusing the technology from the novel to explore an alternative 2017 where Hillary Clinton won the 2016 Presidential Election.[2] The story line further explores the concept of "the jackpot", a back-story element of The Peripheral.

One plot is set in the alternative 2017, with a young woman named Verity testing a new form of avatar software developed by the military, for a start-up in San Francisco. A second plot line involves people in a post-apocalyptic 22nd century meddling with 2017.[2][3]

CBC Books listed Agency on its list of Canadian fiction to watch for in spring 2020.[4] It had originally been planned to be published in January 2018.[2]
