Are you sure? I think this idea has been explored in several novels and films over the past several decades.

The /x/ copypasta was the one I saw first sometime around 2007, and only later did I see the one quoted the file. It's possible that the file's story was earlier.

Never seen it before on film. The Manchurian Candidate isn't it. Can you give me some pointers?

I know the Futurama episode "The Sting" explores this idea.

Doesn’t The Matrix explore this idea?

See also Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. There's a lot of hacking going on in that one leading to some very interesting scenes.

Granted, they're not comatose, but the sensations their minds are receiving do not match reality.
