Strange New World

An interactive philosophical simulation

Strange New World is based on a scenario portrayed in the film The Matrix (but it is not endorsed or in any other way approved by the makers or producers of the film).

When you start Strange New World, a scenario will unfold where you will be in contact with someone who lives outside the Matrix. What this means will become clear as you progress through the activity.

Your journey through Strange New World will take around 10 minutes. At the end, you will be able to read, if you choose, about the philosophical ideas that underlie the activity. If you prefer, you can just take the trip and chew over the implications for yourself.

Please note: This activity makes use of a number of sound effects. Consequently, you should play with your computer speakers switched on (your enjoyment will be much diminished if you do not). But you might want to think twice about playing this if you're at work (unless, of course, you have very understanding employers!).
