From the Paper:

"Many films have examined the relationship between the individual, society and the coming communication universe. The most important of these films have been 'Wagging the Dog', 'Simone' and 'The Matrix'. Each of these films demonstrates how communication technologies can be used to shape reality. 'Wagging the Dog' demonstrated how the news media can shape the political realm, 'Simone' showed how a computer generated person could fool everyone into believing that she was a real person and 'The Matrix' suggested that an individual's entire reality could be generated by computers, virtual reality and multimedia technologies."
