Synopsis
The Matrix has been a movie phenomenon; a massive box-office action hit that was also one of the most intelligent and thoughtful movies of the last 10 years. And now comes the essential (and entirely unofficial) guide for all those seeking to escape the Matrix of modern life. Combining an in-depth reading of the film with philosophical enquiry and the teachings of Casteneda, Jake Horsley has produced a profound yet witty companion to the film; if the Matrix were true this would be all you would need to get yourself unplugged and become The One.

From Booklist
When it hit the screen in 1999, The Matrix captured the imaginations of people living in a world becoming dependent on increasingly sophisticated technology. Much has been made of the film's computer-generated world, known as the matrix, and the few who escape it, including Neo, the movie's (and its sequels') hero, who transcends the matrix and sees its programming. Horsley draws connections between the world of the movie and our own world and shows how the characters in the movie transcend the false reality the matrix imposes on humanity. The matrix program focuses on humanity's most superficial, exterior desires, but once someone has "seen through the matrix, there is absolutely nothing they could ever want from it." In the conclusion to the movie trilogy, Matrix Revolutions (opening this month), moviegoers will find out whether Neo and company can defeat the matrix, and this accessible, entertaining book will be an enjoyable companion for those who want to dig deeper into the movies' rich universe.
