Technomancy

The term technomancy refers to an imaginary or fictional category of magical abilities that affect technology, or to magical powers that are gained through the use of technology. It is a portmanteau of technology and -mancy, a suffix used in magical sciences to refer to specific types of fortune telling known as divination (-mancy is derived from the Greek manteia, meaning divination). An early appearance of the term can be found in Steve Martindale's 1990 short story "Technomancy" in the magazine Aboriginal Science Fiction.
