Mistigram: sometimes you get far enough into your preliminary layout of an #ANSIart adaptation that you realise, gulp, this is going to be more small-scale than I thought, maybe I should cut and run... but Cthulu has a 'sunk cost fallacy' way of seeing it through to the bitter end. Anyway, this is his take on #BruceJensen's iconic cover art to the 1993 paperback edition of #NealStephenson's #cyberpunk novel #SnowCrash, in the background, #TheGrid, in the foreground, the world's tiniest #HiroProtagonist. It was drawn for the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection(, though while apparently still in a MIST0426 frame of mind!)

Neuromancer. The union between "neuron," "neural," "neurological," and "necromancer." Actually, "neuromancer" is a corruption of "necromancer."

If necromancy is the art of speaking with the dead, and the necromancer is someone who possesses knowledge related to divinatory practices aimed at achieving this goal, neuromancy is the art of speaking with the ROM personality constructs connected to one's cyberdeck.

You insert a ROM card into the peripheral and boom, you come into contact with a dead person, or at least with what could be called "real-time sequential memory" linked to the individual on whom the construct was built.

It's not magic, it's pure technology, and in the age of realized metaphysics, divination becomes a necessary process for obtaining information to operate in the criminal underworld, in a world where knowing the future in the present—or seeing the present in real time—is as important as surviving in a hyper-technological dystopian metropolis. This is cyberpunk, and this is neuromancy.
