He's climbed the ranks freakishly quick.

Step back. Evaluate. Recognize.
he'd tell you, but you'd never know if he was being sincere.
The movie you're talking about is Strange Days and, yeah, it was pretty much exactly like that.
You're not very sarcastic from what I've read in your posts.
Sounds like a misnomer!
Step back. Evaluate. Recognize.

Remember the matrix, how they plugged themselves into virtual reality programs? It's the exact same thing. In the Rant universe, "boosting peaks" (as it's called) has replaced most other forms of entertainment, as people use it as a substitute for real experiences. The effect of the peak depends on the viewer's current state of mind, and so they can enhance it by filtering the peak through different viewers (a baby, a blind man, a meth addict, a dog, etc...) It doesn't really factor into the overall plot of the novel, Palahniuk uses the whole peak boosting thing as an allegory to how no one lives their own lives anymore; we simply replace real experiences with movies and television and what not.
Does that help?
