Abstract:
Neo -mild-mannered software author by day, feared hacker by night-is recruited into a cell of cyber-rebels, led by Morpheus and the warrior Trinity. They have made a fundamental discovery about the world: It does not exist. It is only a seedy utopia where humanity is preserved, protected, and endlessly recycled by a mega-computer. Cypher turns traitorous for access to comforts unmatched by the drab post-apocalyptic real world, while Agent Smith dismisses humans as "a plague"--For which non-organic life is "the cure."
