The Digits - The Secret is in the Numbers

A science fiction thriller about an acknowledged scientist, a statistician that
begins to lose his mind because he starts believing that reality is not what it seems to
be and as he sets off on a journey to discover the truth, his life gets more and more
complicated when he discovers that he just might be right. The coincidences that
happen to all of us some of the time just might be an indication that reality might not
be random but an artificial construct. On the other hand the main character could just
be going crazy and writing his journals as part of his therapy or is he? Our reality just
might be a program running on a computer like a simulation and there is no way you
could know about it or maybe the story provides a clue whether anything is real or not.
