In the story, a peptidergic pill induces a physiological, perceptual
change in users. They experience a different "perceptiverse" based upon
the pill ingested. A Dali pill delivers a Dali environment. A Vermeer
pill provides a Vermeer perceptiverse, and so on. As art aficionado
Alena enthuses:
"By taking this new neurotropin we'll be enabled to see not /like/
Rembrandt, but as if /inhabiting/ Rembrandt's canvases!"
There's a hitch, of course. A hitch to provide story tension.
Don't take the Picasso or Duchamp pills before driving.
