英文短篇故事（纽约）510 Action Movies Bore Brothers（在线收听）

Brad said, "Simple. Install mind caps in theater seats. We select a character. Wearing the cap, we experience everything he experiences. If he drives fast on winding roads, we feel each turn. If he parachutes out of an airplane, we feel the free fall." Drake asked, "Yeah, but what if someone punches him?" Brad said, "Of course, you can adjust the cap for minimum or maximum feel." Drake said, "Forget it. You can't always trust technology. Maybe your cap will 'self-adjust' to maximum when your character’s getting run over."
