How does technology truly manage to disconnect humans from any sense of the natural world? Is reality even identifiable in an era of simulated experience? What does the future hold?
The following videos explores the now-symbiotic relationship between reality and the digital simulation, including how the virtual realm looks to engulf humanity.
“Science fiction increasingly proves to be a genre that is necessary to grasp the postmodern world around us”.
— Brian McHale.
Jean Baudrillard is a writer that changed my life.
Simulacra and Simulation is a must-read for everyone, and for those that truly understand the concepts — the spectacle, the Matrix — will never the same again.
Check out some of my writings, and related work, inspired by Baudrillard’s theories at the links below:

This is junk.
I managed half of the video. As I noted in my first post, which was censored, this is retarded.
In fact, this is junk trying to convince you that resistance is futile and you should accept that the options laid out for you, from a digital perspective, are the only options you have. Resistance is futile, that’s the message, so just accept it.
Again, this is retardation of the highest level.
Last I looked everyone’s shit stinks, much in the same way as censorship. So FU.
