"Simulations" is a genre encompassing fiction and nonfiction that centers on constructed or modeled realities—virtual worlds, neural or computer-generated environments, procedural societies, and thought experiments that treat life as a designed system. Books in this category explore characters living inside, manipulating, or discovering simulations (from immersive VR and training scenarios to large-scale social or historical models), and probe the technical, philosophical and ethical questions that arise when the line between simulated and “real” experience blurs. Common themes include identity and agency, authenticity and control, the mechanics and limitations of modeled systems, and the consequences of trusting or exploiting simulated environments; tone can range from high-tech thrillers and cyberpunk to speculative philosophy and hard-science inquiry. Whether framed as suspenseful narratives, speculative worldbuilding, or rigorous analysis of simulation theory and its social impacts, the genre examines how creating, running, and inhabiting simulations reshapes human perception and power.
