luctor et emergo

“A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.”

—William Gibson, Neuromancer

Corey notified me that Discover just put out an interesting article on a visual representation of the Blogosphere, and upon looking at it I was instantly reminded of Gibson’s description of cyberspace in Neuromancer, specifically that last metaphor. Also there’s a similarity between that and some of my friend Jared’s early computer generated works. (I wish I had a link here.)

It was something I figured I’d share.
