"The question of whether or not we are living inside a computer simulation has inspired a large amount of fiction ... but, unsurprisingly, not much serious research. Among the more reasonable and quantitative attempts, let us mention Nick Bostrom's simulation argument [3]: if societies do not tend to self-destruct before acquiring the technology necessary to the exploitation of a significant fraction of the computing power inherently permitted by the laws of physics, our probability of living inside a simulation approaches unity. ..."
