I remember being angry with The Game when it came out because there's a scene where machine gun fire hits right by Douglas, and there seemed no freaking way that that could really be faked. But the future's a different story. I'll accept whatever, if vaguely self-consistent.
I don't think it's VR - they'd just let people get shot if it were. And wouldn't really need to (eg) perform surgery on robots - they could just erase the damage with a keystroke.
Yeah, wonder if they're up to anything with Orion beyond his sense that it at least was real, and the sentience = mistakes bit.
