Surreal 1980s illustration evoking Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. A desktop computer with a rainbow-colored display floats above a cracked, barren desert landscape under dark storm clouds. A hand in a white dress shirt reaches down from the upper right, its fingertip sending a bolt of lightning into the top of the monitor, as if bringing the machine to life. The computer casts a shadow on the parched ground below.

@Haste Imagine thinking this illustration was appropriate for UNIX WORLD magazine in 1985, geared toward business users, not realizing that in 2026 it could be used as banner art for an LGBTQ+ self-hosted Mastodon instance.
