Prime Difference

George Faircloth is trapped in a bitter, joyless marriage to the jealous, domineering Marge, and the arrival of a beautiful new secretary named Jeree only sharpens his sense of escape—and temptation. When a coworker mentions an illegal but tantalizing solution called an Ego Prime, George discovers that freedom can be bought on the black market, if he is willing to risk everything. He arranges a secret deal, selects the most advanced Super Deluxe model, and submits to the bizarre Neuro-pantograph process that duplicates his body and mind. The result is a near-perfect double with George's memories, habits, and authority, yet obedient to remote commands. At first, the plan seems ideal: one George can manage the marriage and household while the other pursues Jeree. But this darkly comic science-fiction satire quickly turns the fantasy of divided lives into a sharper question—what happens when a man tries to outwit duty, desire, and himself?
