It was a magic moment, though not the sort a shaman like Verner did. Andy’s magic was the metaphorical magic of technomancy. His early test scores showed that. If he had a totem spirit, it had to be the Ghost in the Machine. The magic of rigging, where a man became one with his machine, was Andy’s path to enlightenment and the wonder of decking, where anything you thought could be real. Virtually real, anyway.
