Imagine a world where a shadow organisation can insert, modify or delete the thoughts and actions of individuals to maintain the status quo in society. Due to one faction of the organisation becoming hungry for war, that faction has decided to promote VR research in order to blur the lines between real and virtual, so that people can be induced to be violent and greedy again to go for WW3.

it is possible to be consumed mentally by the vr world as there is almost zero latency when the victim is thrown into a flight or fight situation unknowingly (for eg a simulated car accident). It feels real even though they know its induced. The brain registers the event as "real" with the real actions and thoughts done by the victim when victim is induced and compelled to. Then the brain replays the scene again as it is traumatic. The victim gets possessed and becomes hypervigilant.

The protagonist is a depressed scientist fighting the machine to insert thoughts into him to probe him to find out how to blur the lines between virtual and reality (minimising latency). The faction is monitoring his thoughts through the machine.

How might the scientist halt VR advancement? One way is starting from his own thoughts to resist any curious and intellectual thinking. Suicide is another option but the scientist is afraid to kill himself.
