Why a trans actress in The Peripheral is a messenger from our future

I talked to her about the significance of the role in The Peripheral, where she plays a trans person in the future. The show is based on a novel by William Gibson, who coined the term cyberspace, and it was produced by Westworld creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan. It's a complicated story that moves around in time and explores whether the digital world is real or not. And the show is different from the book, as it uses Gibson's story as a jumping off point for ideas about our future. And that gives Billings some interesting leeway to play Lowbeer as a trans person in the show.
