Hello - this book may not be what you are looking for but it is interesting. It is also hard to read. It was written in French and my copy is in English.

Simulacra and Simulation (The Body, In Theory: Histories of Cultural Materialism) (Paperback)
by Jean Baudrillard

It is available at Amazon.

It is the philosophical basis for the movie the Matrix and the book even make a brief appearance in the movie.
The point is that digital technology has gone beyond simulating things that do exist
and can no simulate things that never did exist.
See my image www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1081226 for example

Good reading
John B
