JEAN BAUDRILLARD AND THE MATRIX

THE HUMAN REALITY AS A HYPERREALITY: FICTIONAL REALITY INSIDE A COMPUTER PROGRAM, GENERATED THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER

CODES. This hyperreality was a copy of the reality of 20th century (1999): duplicated version of the real world that looks more real and beautiful

than the real one (2199: a darkness world without sun and destructed as a consequence of a war between human beings and machines).

in order to use them as a source of energy. “it is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth”

(Morpheu / The Matrix, 1999)
