It was thus said that the Great John Allain once stated:
And there was a Doctor Who story in the mid-70s (with Tom Baker) about him
being stuck in a VR world while the Master tried to kill him (``The Deadly
Assasin'' I think is the name of the story). Quite well done actually.
-spc (And there was Brainstorm in 1983 ... )
We're just part of a simulation, being run in
another universe. :)
<rave>
There was a movie called "The Thirteenth Floor" made in 1999
that had this as the basis, Computer simulations as all encompassing
alternate universes. In case you thought the movie sucked or,
further that is doesn't apply to the 10 year rule... It is based on
a story "Counterfeit World / Simulachron-3", published in, get this,
1964... and serialized for German TV in 1974 by Fassbinder.
Just in case you thought VR was a unique idea.
