The novel “The Remaking of Sigmund Freud” by Barry N. Malzberg was published for the first time in 1985.

Deep space missions require special attention to the crew’s psychological needs. For this reason it was decided to create simulacra that faithfully reproduce artists such as Mark Twain or Emily Dickinson but also Sigmund Freud, to be able to offer help to those who suffer from some neuroses or other psychological problems.

Sigmund Freud’s replicant reproduces the original man’s personality traits and has all his memories. This means that he has his original’s skills but also that for him the situations during space missions are something completely different from what he remembers. On Venus or on a spaceship, helping the staff can be really hard.
