Thanks for the kind word Michael. Could the WEST WING episode re: Gault entail the Rosenbergs as well? Probably, the whole theory of simulation and simulacra posits the invocation of memory, not genuine historical facts, and the blurriness is part of what makes the system effective. It is all about bringing up certain kinds of nostalgia and emotions in service of a very contemporary socio-economic politics. What makes THE MATRIX so brilliant still after all these decades is how brilliantly it uses the device of the science fiction story to illustrate the philosophical concept in tandem with half a dozen others, including Marx, Gramsci, and Althusser.
