The Invention of Morel
The Invention of Morel, long unavailable (in English, anyway) is back in print!
Written by Adolfo Bioy Casares (most famous for his collaborations with J L Borges), it's without doubt the best novel from 1940 (or any other year, probably) about a totally (and I mean totally) immersive environment.
Borges wrote in his introduction that "to classify it as perfect is neither an imprecision nor a hyperbole."
He's not exaggerating.
Highly recommended, and very relevant.

JL Borges is a brilliant author, imo. He was very well read (had the reputation of having read everything), so I'm excited to read a book he recommended so highly. For anyone interested in Borges, he wrote amazing short stories, including a famous one entitled the Aleph that details a vivid and mysterious immersive / altered consciousness experience.
