Question: Is this book really that popular in tech circles? Or only because it is featured in a scene in The Matrix, thus it needs to be read for nerd cred?

  It was featured in a scene in The Matrix? I didn't even know that. It's a well-known book in general, particularly famous and revered among STEM circles. It also won a Pulitzer Prize back when it was released.

    If it was in The Matrix, I missed it. But, OTOH, Baudrillard's Simulaca and Simulation was definitely featured in The Matrix, FWIW.

      Ah crap. Thats what was in the movie, I retract my previous comment. It's been a while and I knew it was some book on the table when Neo was sleeping on his desk. :D

        Simulacra and Simulation was actually his fake book on the bookshelf: http://thelatestreviewer.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/simulacra.jpg http://thelatestreviewer.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/simulac...
