Burke, Ralph Reality Unlimited Produced from Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy August 1957 Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Reality Unlimited" by Robert Silverberg is a science fiction short story written in the mid-20th century. The narrative revolves around a groundbreaking theatrical experience called "Ultrarama," which immerses audience members in hyper-realistic scenes, making them feel as if they are genuinely part of the action. The story explores the consequences of such immersive entertainment and raises questions about the nature of reality and human experience. In "Reality Unlimited," we follow Paul Hendriks, who eagerly waits in line to attend the premiere of Ultrarama with his wife, Dot. Once inside the theater, Hendriks is transported through a series of vivid, adrenaline-pumping scenarios, including encounters with wild animals in Africa, seductive encounters in a boudoir, and gladiatorial battles in the Coliseum. Each illusion heightens his senses, but as the experiences become more intense and disturbing, Hendriks struggles to cope, culminating in a desperate wish to escape the overwhelming realism. After an exhausting ordeal, he and Dot choose to leave the theater, reflecting on the stark difference between the artificial tragedies they've witnessed and the comfort of their real, albeit mundane, lives.
