Speculation in Science Fiction

Do you ever get that sense of deja vu...a feeling that you've experienced something before? As computers get more and more complex, they are able to replicate the nature of reality in ever finer detail. How would we recognize if we were living in a computer simulation – a highly accurate world of virtual reality? Perhaps this isn't your first time...

Reality Check by David Brin is not a story so much as an extrapolation attempting to wake the reader up from a simulation of their own making. While providing basic elements, such as characters, theme, and setting, Brin fails to provide anything resembling a human connection, resulting in a cold, unfeeling narration, which is rather monotonous.
