Yaros 2.0

2039. Yaroslav Pavlov, a famous singer known under the pseudonym Yaros, comes to his senses after a concert and discovers a nightmare: while he was asleep, his place was taken by a “double.” The label has created a clone—biologically identical, with the same fingerprints, iris, DNA, and, of course, his voice. Legally, this is not identity theft, but duplication of identity in order to increase profits.
Yaroslav is not happy with this arrangement, but how do you convince a system that sees one person where there are two? How can you prove your own identity when you and your copy have the same biometrics? And most importantly, what do you do if the clone also has an opinion on the matter?
A story about how to keep yourself in a world where identity has become an asset—about the bureaucratic absurdity of the future, and about what makes us human.
