Classical 17th-century style black and white engraving depicting Neuromancer's cyberpunk themes through mythological allegory. Central prophetic figure representing AI consciousness, robed in flowing garments, holding a glowing orb symbolizing cyberspace. Six disciples arranged in a semicircle representing the six key ideas from the novel: cyberspace as consensual hallucination, human-machine fusion, artificial intelligence consciousness, corporate power, fluid identity, and technological singularity. Latin banner at top reading 'Consensualis Hallucinatio' (Consensual Hallucination). Baroque composition blending classical mythology with futuristic technology. Floating digital matrix patterns rendered as celestial spheres and sacred geometry. Cybernetic cherubs with neural cables replacing traditional wings. Symbolic elements include human-machine hybrid figures with cybernetic enhancements, corporate towers reimagined as classical columns, digital consciousness depicted as ethereal wisps ascending toward the heavens, and technological singularity shown as radiant ascending light. Intricate cross-hatching technique reminiscent of Albrecht Dürer and Gustave Doré. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting creating depth and mystery. Highly detailed ornamental border featuring circuit board patterns rendered as traditional acanthus leaves and Renaissance decorative motifs. Museum-quality engraving aesthetic merging classical art tradition with cyberpunk iconography, capturing William Gibson's vision of technology, consciousness, and the future of humanity.
