What is, The+Nature+Of+Reality? (TNOR) Is this world part of a cosmic MATRIX?

This can be a personal quest as well as a general human cultural quest.

There are many questions and there are several answers about TNOR.

There have been some interesting intersections between William Gibson and U2 over the years.
https://www.atu2.com/news/connections/gibson

The William Gibson MATRIX certainly added to the concept of Big Data and Data-streams...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson#Visionary_influence_and_prescience
"a.k.a. the matrix

A term coined by author William Gibson in his novel Neuromancer, it refers to a vast computer network or growing mass of interconnected networks." https://www.netlingo.com/word/matrix.php , 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson#Influence_and_recognition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer#Background

Of course by the early 1990s, U2 would end up doing their own version of the Cyberpunk music and entertainment theme and stream.

The_Thirteenth_Floor_poster from 1999. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirteenth_Floor#Plot
Obviously The_Matrix_(franchise) was intended to be on a much larger scale than The 13th Floor. However, The 13th Floor is just as fascinating in exploring TNOR.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_13th_Floor_Elevators 1965-1969
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You're_Gonna_Miss_Me In another context, this song could have been a warning about people opting out of their reality and going into Virtual Reality.

Question TNOR, indeed.

http://fusionanomaly.net/elevators.html
The Thirteenth_floor is a level that exists and yet doesn't exist in many buildings. It can be a mechanical floor or a service and storage floor or sometimes it's skipped or omitted. That just means it's not officially in the building floor count, but its still there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_TV_Tour#Conception
ZOO TV was all about big time entertainment and emerging digital technology on the horizon. However from another perspective, what if this world is part of someones zoo?

"The zoo hypothesis speculates as to the assumed behavior and existence of technically advanced extraterrestrial life and the reasons they refrain from contacting Earth and is one of many theoretical explanations for the Fermi paradox. The hypothesis is that alien life intentionally avoids communication with Earth, and one of its main interpretations is that it does so to allow for natural evolution and sociocultural development, avoiding interplanetary contamination, similarly to people observing animals at a zoo. The hypothesis seeks to explain the apparent absence of extraterrestrial life despite its generally accepted plausibility and hence the reasonable expectation of its existence.^[1]

Aliens might, for example, choose to allow contact once the human species has passed certain technological, political, or ethical standards. They might withhold contact until humans force contact upon them, possibly by sending a spacecraft to planets they inhabit. Alternatively, a reluctance to initiate contact could reflect a sensible desire to minimize risk. An alien society with advanced remote-sensing technologies may conclude that direct contact with neighbors confers added risks to oneself without an added benefit." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_hypothesis 

In this movie the humans don't realize that they are on some ET laboratory ship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_City_(1998_film)#Plot ,
