re: #306 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Somehow, the idea that cloning a person would result in the complete duplication of all memories of the person is a popular misconception.

In David Gerrold’s SF novel, The Man Who Folded Himself, the protagonist uses a time machine to constantly encounter duplicates of himself in alternate time streams. Some of these duplicates differ from the original by only a few minutes of experience, and some in fact differ only by being female. The inevitable happens, taking up a large portion of the narrative, and leading one critic to remark that “the ‘F word’ in the title should really be something else.”
