Summary: "The Premiere" by Richard Sabia is a science fiction novel that explores the captivating yet dangerous world of futuristic entertainment, likely written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around the intense experiences of characters within a theater that offers immersive "feelies," where patrons can intensely feel the emotions of the films they watch. The narrative touches on themes such as the impact of technology on human emotions and the boundaries between reality and performance. In the book, we follow the young actress Robina Rowe and her protective brother Jason as they navigate the thrilling yet perilous world of feelies. Robina, a Sensitive who experiences emotions more intensely than others, illegally attends a horror feelie, leading to devastating consequences. The intensity of the film overwhelms her, resulting in a near-fatal incident that draws the attention of theater medical staff. As the story unfolds, Jason's unexpected talent in projecting emotional depth becomes a focal point, taking him from embarrassment to stardom. However, this newfound success also leads to tragic and horrifying outcomes during a premiere when the emotional authenticity of his performances has fatal ramifications for the audience, raising questions about the responsibilities of both creators and consumers of immersive entertainment.
