He claims people prefer to live in simulations. Postmodern media text can be classified as heightened reality or hyperreality where editing is used to create meaning or the text is scripted but made out to be real, an example is the 2020 movie "Borat Subsequent Movie Film" by 2 by 4 Studios which mixes heightened reality and hyperreality, the movie features a scripted character played by Sacha Baron Cohen interacting with people to catch their unscripted reactions which is edited and cut with commentary added over them at times.  P
