Simulacron-3 by Daniel F. Galouye

VictoriaPL Simulacron 3 and The Matrix have the same idea: the world we know is not the real one, there is another world beyond the simulation. Simulacron 3 is not a ripoff of The Matrix though, it was actually published back in 1964. If you enjoy The Matrix you might like this old-school forerunner.
