did neo already know about the matrix
Neo: The Matrix. Neo didn't know what it was called initially, but was driven to find out. It seems all he learned was the name, and that Morpheus knew the answers. This information was likely planted online by Morpheus himself to attract Neo (and other potentials) to him.eo knows other hackers (he knows who Trinity was before she was freed from The Matrix) so I assumed this is how he knows a Morpheus. However, he knows Morpheus by voice which is not something people do often over the computer (especially when they are hackers).
