'''ExistenZ''' (stylized as '''eXistenZ''') is a 1999 Canadian [[Biopunk]] [[science fiction]] body horror film written, produced, and directed by David Cronenberg. 

It is described by some people as the Canadian/Biopunk version of [[The Matrix]], but it involves more philosophy and less leather-clad ass-kicking.

== Plot ==
In the near-future, organic virtual reality game consoles known as "game pods" have replaced electronic ones. The pods are attached to "bio-ports", outlets inserted at players' spines, through biotechnological umbilical cords. Two game companies, Antenna Research and Cortical Systematics, compete against each other. In addition, a group of "realists" fights both companies to prevent the "deforming" of reality.

== Futurist and Transhumanist elements ==

The two major transhumanist themes within the movie are [[virtual reality]] and/or [[Simulation hypothesis|simulated reality]]. Synthetic biology based umbilical cords are also a key element behind the technology in the story.

== Popular Culture ==
* [[YouTube]] channel WatchMojo made ExistenZ number 10 in thier list of "Top 10 Amazing Cyberpunk Movies" despite the movie being more closely related to Biopunk in theme or "aesthetics".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvhZczsKmlA Top 10 Amazing Cyberpunk Movies]</ref>
