Had more fun reading this and discussing it with students than I have had with anything I've read in a while. It certainly stimulates conversation. It's true this is simply a complex variation on, "If we're living in God's dream, what happens if he wakes up?" Or, perhaps it's the 21st Century's version of Plato's Cave. As grounded in science as it might be--or at least as we're led to believe, since that might simply be part of the simulation--it can't hide that it's idealism in new wine skins. (Parse that allusion out.)
