Imagine you woke up tomorrow and found out you’d been in a Truman Show dome your entire life. How would you feel about the fact that they made the Jim Carrey movie and put it where you could see it?

We are living it. Right now. Each and every one of us with a phone in our pocket. Except we don't have paid actors doing the work. Everyone is volunteering to post everything that goes on in our world around us and broadcast it.
