Description: "The groundbreaking Matrix trilogy dares us to do something as terrifying as Neo's leap from a skyscraper - discover our true selves and live our unique lives." "Citing scenes from all three movies, Stephen Faller plugs into the richly textured and deeply interwoven network of religion, philosophy, Western values, and popular culture to reveal the films' many layers of meaning.

He parallels the conceptions of Andy and Larry Wachowski - The Matrix creators - with those of such visionaries as Socrates, Descartes, Kierkegaard, Freud, Orwell, Huxley, and Spielberg, exploring the Matrix as an expression of the fears, the quests, and the dreams that humankind has struggled to define and conquer."--Jacket.
