Furthermore, Lem believes this technology can operate on multiple levels. This means that when a person leaves one virtual reality, they may not necessarily return to the "real" world. Instead, they might switch between different parallel realities while not being sure if this is the "original" real world. This will lead to the boundary between truth and fiction becoming increasingly blurred. Lem evidently sees it as a potential threat:
"The accumulation of such illusory realities could lead to real life being regarded as fantasy."
