"By the turn of the millenium a technology known as VIRTUAL REALITY will be in widespread use. It will allow you to enter computer generated artificial worlds as unlimited as the imagination itself. Its creators foresee millions of positive uses -- while others fear it as a new form of mind control . . ." (Lawnmower Man, 1993)
