It reminds me of an episode from Star Trek: The Next Generation where the crew was given these headsets that has a laser thing that pointed at their eyes. Pretty soon, everyone became addicted to it on the Starship Enterprise, as it immersed them in a fantasy world and gave them feelings of euphoria and other pleasurable sensations. It was a sinister plot by an alien race to subjugate those who might interfere with their nefarious plans. Very prescient episode, don't you think?.
