Summary
In the series, Kappatoo, a youth from the twenty‑third century, travels back to the early 1990s in order to exchange places with his identical “time twin,” Simon Cashmere. The substitution is arranged so that Simon, who possesses greater physical strength and athletic ability than the genetically refined humans of Kappatoo’s era, can compete on Kappatoo’s behalf in a futuristic sporting tournament.
While Simon is transported to the technologically advanced society of the distant future, Kappatoo remains in the late twentieth century and adapts to everyday life there. In Kappatoo’s native era, personal names consist of a Greek letter followed by a numerical sequence, reflecting the formalised identity conventions of the time.
