"...he made up his mind to produce an adaptation -- which he
christened the endocephalic electrohallucinator -- of a twenty-second
century means of entertainment and use it for a different and more

identical ways in which they would have been stimulated had they actually

From Jonathan Harrison, "A Philosopher's Nightmare or The Ghost
Not Laid" in _Proceedings_of_the_Aristotellian_Sociaty_, vol. 67, C1967,
The Aristotelian Society.
Anybody know of anything earlier?
