Nick Bostrom is a philosopher at Yale.  In his paper “The Simulation Argument,” he makes the case that life as we know it may be a computer simulation being run by our descendants.  He figures they’d want to experience what it was like to live as their own ancestors.  Or perhaps play a part in history.  He explains the logical probabilities to Steve Paulson.
