Plato argued in his theory of forms, and allegory of the caves, that the world, and things within the world are not real, but shadows of the form of what is real. Descartes, in his philosophy, considered the possibility of an evil demon, who created the illusion of an external reality by controlling all that we see and hear. In more recent years, we can see a development of philosophies by Dennett, Tipler, etc, who explore the possible links between computers and the mind.

Recent blockbuster movies such as The Matrix, eXistenZ, The Thirteenth Floor, and The Trueman Show, have all explored the philosophical questions regarding what is real, and the problems, which may emerge, from artificial realities.
