Yes! I do! Actually a wonderfull book is "The Holographic Universe" (I forget the authors name). But not quite like start trek, although similar. It argues that the brain and how it retains/recalls information could work the same way a holograph works (which is probably much different than most people think it does). Even if you are sure that we dont live ina holograph this book is very informative about the wonders of such obstract theories and gives excelent facts to support the theory. You will learn a lot about things other that philosophy on the universe.
I think that the universe is consistent with some kind of computer program due to its mathematical nature. Perhaps god is the math that runs through the veins of the universe which creates fractals and equilibriums and everything else, hence he is everywhere all the time and has no beginning or end because he is just math! lol just a thought.

Well ever since Kant and even before that philosophers have debated that we can never know what things are in themselves, we only know how they appear to us because we perceive them through our senses.
Essentially our senses are translating the reality of the world into thoughts we can manipulate in our head, it's a catch 22 sort of thing, we can only be sure of what we perceive things to be never of what they really are. So I guess it is like living with holograms of things and not the actual things themselves.
Check out a collected set of lectures by Erwin Schrödinger called "Mind and Matter" it pretty much tackles that whole issue.

Do you mean if our world is somewhat like an illusion? This is actually a religious question that demands a metaphysical answer. Buddhists and shamans say our world is an illusion, in this sense that nothing is like it seems and we make of every day reality whatever we want to.
But from a scientific point of view, that is used to measure things in every way possible, of course our world is as real as it can be.
