“What do you see? You are nothing more than the image others have made of you.  That’s all.” 

Originally airing as a two-part miniseries on West German national TV, Fassbinder’s Welt Ahm Draht is based on the novel Simulacron-3 by Daniel F. Galouye. Institute für Kybernetik und Zukunftsforschung’s new supercomputer simulates an artificial world, where thousands of people live, unaware they are living in a simulation.
