Klappentext:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Welt am Draht (World on a Wire), is a 1973 science fiction film directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Shot in 16 mm, it was made for German television and originally aired in 1973 as a two-part miniseries. Starring Klaus Löwitsch, it was based on the novel Simulacron-3 by Daniel F. Galouye.At the institute for cybernetics and future science ("Institut für Kybernetik und Zukunftsforschung, IKZ") a new supercomputer hosts a simulation program that includes an artificial world with about 8,000 "identity units" who live as human beings, unaware that their world is just a simulacron. Professor Vollmer, who is technical director of the program, is apparently on the verge of an incredible discovery. He becomes increasingly agitated and anti-social before dying in a mysterious accident. His successor, Dr. Fred Stiller, has a discussion with Günther Lause, the security adviser of the institute, when the latter suddenly disappears without trace before passing on Vollmer's secret to Stiller. More mysterious still: none of the other IKZ employees seem to have any memory of Lause.
