Story of down-scale virtual reality, with a VR sexual experience on the Boardwalk of that "Coney Island of the Mind" getting problematic. Look for use of the term "waldo" somewhat differently applied than in Robert A. Heinlein's story by that name[2], or the industrial waldos we see in THX 1138 — plus a human/machine interface that can give new meaning to the term "handjob."
