artifact: tron Film, 1982, directed by Steven Lisberger,
written by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird Tron is a Disney-produced sci-fi film
that deals with a villainous computer program, �Master Control,� who tries to
dominate and kill �digitized� humans subjects� through its computer games. Wikipedia uses the concept �simulated reality� when referring to Tron and
explains that �Simulated reality is
the proposition that reality could be simulated�often computer simulated�to a
degree indistinguishable from 'true' reality. It could contain conscious minds which may or may not know that they are living
inside a simulation. In its strongest form, the "simulation
hypothesis" claims we actually are living in such a simulation.� Other
films associated with simulated reality include The Truman Show (1998), The
Matrix Trilogy (1999, 2003, 2003), and Vanilla Sky (2001). |
