Behind the fiction

The Remaking of the Merrow Trust is design fiction written by Charlotte Joanne. Ruth Ashworth, the Merrow Trust and its swarm are invented. Michael Jackson is real: his Jackson Structured Programming taught that the structure of a program follows the structure of its data, and Ruth carries that idea into the age of agents.
