Over the past week at Motherboard, we’ve explored the idea of simulated realities from multiple different angles, as part of our “Perfect Worlds” series.
Ruminating on whether or not the universe is a simulation or the ethical treatment of Sims characters is heady work, so we’re capping off the week with some easy listening. Wander through our playlist of our favorite songs about questioning the confines of reality, from wild glamrock motleys to hologram-inspired siren songs. Enjoy!
