The story
Part science fiction mind-scrambler, part horror story, A Glitch in the Matrix is a multimedia exploration of the simulation hypothesis – an "idea as old as Plato's Republic and as current as Elon Musk's Twitter feed" – through the eyes of those who suspect the world we live in is not real.
