Kent's been in the Rekall chair for about three years by my reckoning, so enmeshed with technology to the extent that he's yet to play live. Kent has projected himself into the role of The Perturbator the archetypal anti-hero, and this world is constructed - like Schwarzenegger's - to fulfill his own secret power fantasies, filled with the most evocative moments from his memory of the films, games and music he loves. On Dangerous Days, James Kent's chosen Rekall vacation is that of Nocturne City circa 2088 a dystopian cyberpunk nightmare. Schwarzenegger doesn't buy the shrill warnings about an impending lobotomy and puts a bullet in his supposed saviour's head and the movie ends by implying that the visitor was right and our hero is consequentially lobotomised in the Rekall chair. Instead, the man says, he's plugged in at a psychonaut travel agents called Rekall. There's a scene in Total Recall (the good one from 1990) where a supposedly deluded (yet unfeasibly built) construction worker played by Arnold Schwarzenegger is surprised by the sudden appearance of a man urgently trying to persuade him that his supposed reality where he's a secret agent on Mars is in fact a "vacation from himself".
