TLDR: in our current capitalist and technologically advanced society, we increasingly live in a world where reality and fiction mix, so much so that it’s hard to tell what is real or isn’t real. They blend into each other. This is hyperreality. Arguably what’s real doesn’t even matter as much. The ‘truth’ generated by (social) media is often far more consequential than something as trivial as what actually happened.

For people who like movies, watch Cronenberg’s Videodrome or Existenz. That’s what ‘reality’ has become.
