For a while now I've been playing with this idea inspired by the town of Split from the shivering isles.

The story will be somewhat futuristic and focus on a long-time social experiment where people are cloned, so there are two of them and each of the two children is raised in a half of an expansive city.

One half of the city is completely free from law and order, living in deprivation and forced to fend for themselves, where as the other half of the city is wealthy, lawful and generally well off.

The idea is that we, the readers, are the observers of this social experiment, although as the story progresses things are revealed and the plot becomes complex as the two clones interact with each other.

My point of this thread is wondering if this is maybe a bit too close to the idea of Split. What do you think?
