The SR4 book doesn't give any real information about what technomancers really are. Are there any other resources I'm not aware of that might give some hints? Have they mentioned any plans for releasing a Technomancer sourcebook? I may have to invent things, and if I'm doing so I'd kind of rather not conflict with the near-future universe, but that may be inevitable.
One of my players has made a "magic researcher" character, who's very interested in technology and magic for the sake of improving humanity's position in life. He mentioned "three zones", the physical world, the magical world, and the Matrix - I think, barring any official stance on the matter, I'm going to go with "technomancers are the first people that seriously exist in all three zones in some way", even though they're clearly weighted towards Matrix.
Any commentary? Even if you just tell me how your GM is treating this unexplored area of Shadowrun it might be helpful.
