Intro
(*) Mockumentary:  A term from the field of cinema, composed of two words: mock and documentary. It refers to a work depicting fictional events while imitating documentary filmmaking techniques, thereby creating a fictional, non-existent reality.

But what if God himself can be simulated, that is to say, can be reduced to signs that constitute faith? Then the whole system becomes weightless, it is no longer anything but a gigantic simulacrum - not unreal, but simulacrum, that is to say never exchanged for the real, but exchanged for itself, in an uninterrupted circuit without reference or circumference. / Jean Baudrillard. Simulacra and Simulation (1981)
