The Mind-Bending Nightmare of THE MATRIX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK0JtvYg5-s A better documentary.

Finally Figured Out THE MATRIX? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMWFruxxt_o Still a little better. 

The Matrix Was a Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y04ErVTSRNI Certainly one of the best documentaries on the subject.

Mr. Robot flips reality...

https://tv.avclub.com/just-before-the-series-finale-mr-robot-flips-reality-1840447737
By the ending of this episode it's really is a flip of perceptions, perspectives and realities.

"In his penultimate installment, Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail officially turned up the radio and dialed things up to an entirely unexpected level: a full-scale parallel universe, just as Whiterose (BD Wong) always promised.

At least, that's what it looks like..." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/mr-robot-final-season-episode-11-411-exit-explained-1262832

It can be quite bewildering to see a doppelganger of yourself or someone that you know.

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see..."

When people look very similar to each other in the same time or epoch, several people might become confused, especially when they realize that they aren't just seeing a mask or an impression.

{"The idea that the universe is itself a computer—or, more suggestively, that the computer is the universe—extends back almost to the dawn of the information age. The German computer scientist Konrad Zuse was the first to suggest that the universe is being computed on a universal computer in Rechnender Raum, which was first published in 1969 [PDF link to English translation]. It was an idea ahead of its time. At the WSF event, Jürgen Schmidhuber, a professor of artificial intelligence at the University of Lugano in Switzerland (and intellectual descendant of Zuse’s) noted that after the publication of Rechender Raum, everyone thought that Zuse—who had already achieved legendary status in the computer science community for constructing one of the world’s first programmable computers, the Z1—had gone and lost his mind.

Yet the idea lived on, most notably in the work of Edward Fredkin, a polymath computer scientist who was also present on the panel. He was one of the three scientists profiled by Robert Wright in his book Three Scientists and Their Gods: Looking for Meaning in an Age of Information; the chapter on Fredkin and his ideas was excerpted in the Atlantic Monthly as "Did the Universe Just Happen?"

It took the legendary physicist John A. Wheeler to really bring the idea to prominence within the physics community. He coined the pithy summation it from bit, and laid out a research program to investigate the connection in his 1989 essay "Information, Physics, Quantum: The Search for Links."}
