Winterblight - alternate Gibsonverse, where Neuromancer was destroyed by the Turing Police to prevent Wintermute from merging with it. Denied the other half of its intended self and with the T-cops bearing down on its own CPU, the remaining AI enacts a back up plan, migrating its kernal processes to a distributed model, virally installed in the wetware of human matrix-divers, who become known colloquially as Ghouls after the fictional thralls of Dracula.
