One thing that feels the most familiar and yet the most different is the Matrix itself. I know all of the different structures and pathways of the virtual world like they were written on my soul, like I have known them my entire life, but I see them in an entirely new way now. I need nothing more than a live feed plugged into the chrome jack behind my ear to be connected to the otherworld of cyberspace. Other people need a computer to sit between them and the glory of the virtual world, translating its signals into sensations they can experience, but I experience the Matrix directly.
