Are we living in a simulation? This MIT scientist says it’s more likely than not

Rizwan Virk, Play Labs’ Executive Director
What if I told you that physical reality is an illusion and we all live in a computer simulation?
That hypothesis, famously probed in the 1999 film The Matrix, is the subject of a new book by Rizwan Virk, a computer scientist and video game developer who leads Play Labs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In his book, The Simulation Hypothesis, Virk endeavors to unpack the heady arguments that call our physical world into question.
