The hacker Tiera in the comic A Life Less Empty is also seen to have a copy of the book (mistitled "Simulacra and Simulation s") on her shelf along with three other titles: Memoreaze, Interfazed and Byte Me, with a copy of Hackers Bible lying on her chest of drawers. In the original script, Morpheus specifically referred to Baudrillard's book, however, in an interview, Baudrillard said The Matrix had nothing to do with his work. Morpheus refers to the real world outside the Matrix as the "desert of the real", a reference to Baudrillard's work. Neo's hollowed copy of the book has the chapter "On Nihilism" in the middle, not at the end of the book, where it is in reality. He uses the hollowed book as a hiding place for cash and his important computer files. Neo is seen with a copy of Simulacra and Simulation at the beginning of The Matrix. The Matrix makes many connections to Simulacra and Simulation. Simulacra and Simulation ( Simulacres et Simulation in French), published in 1981, is a philosophical treatise by Jean Baudrillard.
