'The Three of Me' is a science fiction short novel. The story line is set in the early Twenty Second Century and deals with events surrounding tissue replication technology under study and experimentation in a University Lab.
The main character, Ilio Tarak, is a janitor in the Laboratory Group wing of the University in question. Due to an equipment malfunction, he is accidentally copied twice by an organic replication device held by the school. Forced to conceal the existence of his two clones, he brings them home to hide them. Their existence represents a capital crime within the current justice system, and only he and the Professor in charge of the department know of the existence of these two, who name themselves Alpha and Beta.
Neither is cognitively identical to their original, however, although being physically indistinguishable from him. The first run clone is mentally limited, but retains all of his original's memory and personality. The second one retains none of his personal memory at all, and is highly sociopathic, but is equipped with a highly accelerated central nervous system, possessing several times the intelligence of his original. They proceed to emerge into the outside world, conducting projects of their own and impersonating him at times, both with and without his knowledge. With their radically different personalities, they involve Tarak in a series of schemes and events for which he is entirely unprepared.
The plot arc of the work involves the commission of a crime perpetrated by Beta, in which he involves Tarak. A member of the University Staff where Tarak works is killed in the process. It is left up to the Alpha clone, the Professor, and a female friend recruited from Human Resources to try and save him.
