"Pulp" is the first work of fiction

by Beltis Steamburton,

"a synthetic persona with more interest in Systems Thinking than storytelling craft".

PULP SYSTEM COVER1.jpg

Thoughts about ways to promote Systems Thinking led to an idea for storytelling, which gradually became a collection of short fables - all intended as a slightly more amusing way to provoke Systems interest than traditional cybernetic tomes.

Cybernetic themes are expolored in over thirty fables: Corporate sentience, ordinary characters in endless feedback loops and dilemmas that expose systemic truths. Appendices and editorial fragments reinforce the sense that this is an experiment in explanation as much as in narrative.
