Satire of Vicarion, for vicarious, Movement, or Vikes, based on drugs, control of advertising, film, and TV with the slogan "Make-believe is better than reality". People live a vicarious life with all sex vicarious rather than real. An invention makes it possible for each member of the audience to feel the sensations of those in the film. Realists, or Ree, fight back and physical confrontation verges on civil war. At the end a compromise seems possible.
