Prime Difference
1957
In a future where divorce has become nearly impossible, George Faircloth has found one solution to his miserable marriage: an illegal technology that creates a perfect duplicate of himself. The "Ego Prime" will handle his domestic obligations while the real George explores the freedom he's been denied. But as the duplicate begins developing its own personality, George discovers an uncomfortable truth: Marge actually prefers the Prime's company. What starts as a convenient arrangement becomes a philosophical nightmare. Who is he if someone else can do him better? Nourse writes with sharp, uncomfortable clarity about identity, obligation, and the lengths we'll go to escape ourselves. The novel's real bite lies in its twist on love: maybe the problem was never Marge. Maybe it was always George.
