I think that the reason explained in the movie was that the simulation was to keep the people functionally normally on a biological level. The brain needs to experience a life in order for the body to produce energy optimally. If the mind dies so does the body hence the need to keep it engaged.

Wow. That explanation of our brains being the CPU's running the simulation and not the power source makes a lot of sense.

Yeah. I think this was depicted in Enter the Animatrix. Still if the Sun was blocked wouldn't the plants die and there would be no oxygen and hence no life?

I have always wondered that if the Sun was blocked completely wouldn't Earth be completely uninhabitable? Is there an explanation in the book?

Strangely though the translation of Nanga Parbat is Naked Mountain.
