There is a rather interesting science fiction movie, called "The Thirteenth Floor", that explores this concept, in fact if I remember correctly it talks about nested simulated worlds.
This makes perfect sense to me, if the theory that we are living in a simulated universe is correct, the exact same logic would apply to the beings that are running the programs to simulate us and so on, ad infinitum.
- jgroszko 11y agoThere were a couple different movies that explored this theme around the time The Matrix came out. eXistenZ is another one that I enjoyed a lot, where video games become completely immersive, but there's still a few tropes like vapid NPCs and generic place names that kind of give it away.
- anexprogrammer 11y agoThere was a late night TV show. 80s Twilight Zone or something of similar vintage. Height of the Cold War, on the brink of Nuclear War which after a series of cock-ups arrives and MAD results. Camera pulls back to reveal "Game Over", then further to show two alien teens at an arcade machine. A short exchange and another coin in the slot to start at pre-life. Show ends. Was refreshingly well done.
