Sunshine Delight

The New Army of the USA has won the Warsaw War by equipping its soldiers with "subcutaneous radios," and "The war was over for all but the unlucky few whose slightly damaged Units kept up a continuous electronic urge to go beserk" (26, 27). One old woman decides to end her fear of her violent world by getting her own Unit implanted. See esp. the implanting, with the woman "in the operating chair, completely immobilized" (28)—but with pleasant results for her, if quite unpleasant for some damaged veterans. Cf. and contrast the radio implants in K. Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan (q.v., this Category), and the usually more gruesome results of being immobile in a chair in most SF.
