Our world may be a giant hologram (New Scientist)
So what do we call a virtual world in a virtual world? And how do we log out?
In Hinduism, Vishnu dreams the world. Who dreams the dreamer?

About the film
In-World War, a smart and offbeat indie sci-fi feature, tells the futuristic story of a debt-ridden and depressed beta tester trapped in a buggy virtual reality simulation of the "war on terror".
This site chronicles the making of the film, which is written and directed by Brant Smith (aka DJ Bad Vegan), who also produced the award-winning narrative feature Quality of Life.
