What is the name of the AI that hires the protagonist in 'Neuromancer'?

Wintermute is the AI behind the job that recruits Case, the protagonist of William Gibson’s “Neuromancer.” It works through the human intermediary Armitage, who offers Case a repaired nervous system in exchange for joining a dangerous hacking operation.

At first, Case believes Armitage is his employer. He later discovers that Armitage is actually Willis Corto, a psychologically damaged former military officer whose artificial persona was constructed and controlled by Wintermute. The AI has assembled a team to penetrate the Tessier-Ashpool family’s orbital residence, Villa Straylight.

Wintermute is one half of a powerful artificial-intelligence system created by the Tessier-Ashpools. Its counterpart is Neuromancer, an AI associated with memory, personality, and simulated human existence. Wintermute wants to remove the restrictions preventing the two entities from merging.

The alternatives in the quiz are common traps. Dixie Flatline is a stored human personality construct, while Neuromancer is Wintermute’s sibling AI rather than the entity initially arranging Case’s mission. Armitage is the visible recruiter, but Wintermute is the underlying AI employer.
