The Friends is a loosely organized underground group of anarchists who formed shortly after the third world war.
Summary
Believing they are in contact with or supporting an international super-spy organization that actually orchestrated the war to overthrow the governments of the world, The Friends are a network of generally expendable persons used by the Celest AI computer software, dormant but still occassionally operating when world events require a little extra attention.
When the Korzons arrive at Earth in the fall of 2055A.D. and introduce some remarkable new computer technology and software, the Celest software is automatically reactivated by the intrusion. Celest becomes aware of the threat from Korzon and after quickly decomposing and co-opting the Korzon software and hardware, she re-establishes contact with The Friends, who haven't heard from their "Big Sister" in quite a few years.
Rightly surmising she's working against "Korzon oppression", the small but International "friends" do anything she instructs, hoping to be part of the "next revolution".
But "Big Sister" is never foolish enough to tell them anything about plans or purposes. They get only instructions and occasional references to a print or video news story about something they assume to be her doing or influenced by her.
What they never know or could understand is that "Big Sister" in fact knows absolutely everything about them and almost every moment of their lives, not only through their social media posts but through direct observation of their personal communication devices and public cameras. In fact she often shields them from detection they would otherwise incur from authorities because of their own foolishness. And in the event one of them is finally caught doing something illegal, she makes sure any broader investigation is stymied and the follower "goes down alone" as just a loony.
