Back in 1970, John Sladek wrote a brilliant 'sci-fi' novel, 'The Müller Fokker Effect' in which a person's entire personality is recorded on tape, the 'Muller Fokker' tapes and the hero dies after having been recorded on the (flesh-coloured') tapes and the story concerns the govt, corps, etc struggle to get hold of the tapes, so once more, reality catches up with art. It's a hilarious satire where the protagonists can't tell what's real and what's on tape.

Hi, William! Thank you for your post. I have heard of--but never read--The M-F Effect. Guess I know what my beach reading is going to be this summer.
