  • Episode 130 - THX-1138
    Before George Lucas found The Force and brought us Star Wars, he created an intellectually scifi indie film called THX-1138.
    Many of you may have seen that film, and noticed precursors from everything to light sabers and stormtroopers, but did you ever consider that it takes place entirely in a simulation? Based on an article by our previous guest, cyberpunk author Mark Everglade, we are going to dive in and see if this theory holds merit.
    Join us as we go into a simulation far, far away for this episode of Futurosity's Flix and Pix..
