One evening as he looked from outside at all the solitary people in their tubes, a new business idea hit him, and he became a toucher.

Most people no longer have physical contact. People just don’t interact with other people anymore, and whatever this circumstance offers individuals as far as peace, the flip side is that it takes a negative toll on the body. They book online, people, check in online, shop at stores with automated self-checkout, talk to service bots, have food delivered by drones, mail by postal robots. All good fun. But it causes sadness and loneliness in one’s body. The bodycam man understands the body. He’s extraordinarily physical. He looks like a two-meter-tall red-haired bee. He smells like vanilla. And his business is working. He’s just come from a large office where he works once a week. The staff, low-level IT personnel, have pooled money to pay him. Each of them gets five minutes of bodily contact. For many, the only contact they experience each week.
