According to google he lived in the parallel world @whistles
I was able bodied at the time i watched it so never had such thoughts. Living in some kind of matrix would be good though where you had a properly functioning body and no pain existed just because you could tell yourself it didn't.
I am only just realising that my world is a lot different from the average person sat next to me. But who says mine isn't the real one and theirs is virtual. Some people are slowly turning into robots because they can't function without tech.
