If anyone else can think of a title, just tell me.

In the book "Small Miracles" by Edward M. Lerner, one of the main characters continually wears glasses that give him the illusion he is on a virtual island where everything goes his way and he has a nice pet cat that lulls him to sleep. Why, you may ask, is this important? Because you know such people that are always in their little worlds, thinking of their special hypno-cat thing and swaying palm trees. I think Lerner is trying to represent these types of people in his books, and also is making a very general stereotype. The character, whose name evades me right now, is continually in his own little world, plotting to murder people and perform crazy medical experiments on people. Lerner seems to also associate the character to radical groups, as the character wants to rebuild society, change humans into some sort of super-race, yadda yadda yadda. Lerner may not have been intending to associate the two, but his is my interpretation at 10:40 on a Thursday night.
