The Same Tapes contains the taped disclosures of Joseph Same; a man who used a false moniker to re-experience events in backward time. And it recounts those events, but it also relates Mr. Same's reactions to them. But it's not a science fiction novel. It's a grouping of reminiscences, observations, and beliefs concerning how mankind can make life upon planet Earth better. And it's a very powerful book. And as one of its characters said "This is probably the best and worst book I've ever read." And you've never read anything like this before.
