The Shockwave Rider (nonfiction)

"No — yes — no . . . I don't know. But I'm okay." Dropping his arm, he blinked this way, then that. "It just hit me. This is town — yes! But it doesn't feel like it. I simply know it must be, because . . ." He swallowed hard. "Seeing it from the railcar, could you have mistaken this place for anything else?"

"Yes, and if I didn't realize it was therapeutic I could well be angry. People don't enjoy being fooled, do they?"

"Therapeutic?" She frowned. "I don't follow you."

"Set-destruction. We use sets constantly instead of seeing what's there — or feeling or tasting it, come to that. We have a set 'town,' another 'city,' another 'village' . . . and we often forget there's a reality the sets were originally based on. We're in too much of a hurry."
