As you sit in front of the screen, have you ever fought through a game late at night and briefly felt that you belonged to that world made of data? Have you ever looked at an NPC's face and inexplicably felt a familiarity that seemed to go beyond mere code? If one day you discovered that you were living inside a "game" designed by a higher-dimensional being, would you choose to follow the rules, or try to rewrite the source code?
