A Glitch in the Matrix Poster
Description:
A documentary by Rodney Ascher that probes the appeal and implications of simulation theory. Through interviews with scientists, philosophers, and technologists, it examines why people sense a glitch-like uncertainty about reality, what a simulated world would entail, and how these ideas permeate culture and personal identity. The film blends testimony, archival material, and speculative analysis to explore belief, doubt, and the possibility that our universe is not as it seems. It challenges viewers to consider how information, media, and technology shape our sense of truth and our place in a potentially engineered cosmos.
