Advertising this show as 'based on a book of William Hobson' is a shame. What we have here are the names of the main characters and the plot of time travel. If we take this aside the show is actually good. Not as good as the book that offers much more in terms of the story, specific language, characters. So read it!
I hope at some point the show will more open up for more ideas, and explain how the "artefacts" from the future make it into the past. The Pheripherial book is unique as it neglects the tradition Time Travel paradox - if you change the past it affects the future... here we have a change in the past - creates new future thread - completly independent. So we can have infinite number of threads in the past that will never change the future.
