New Writings on Cyberpunk and the Cyber Future.
The extremely successful film of 1999, 'The Matrix', asked a big question of its viewers: Is the world in which you live actually the real world? If not, and if you can have the choice of which world to live in, reality or fiction, which would you choose? The red pill or the blue pill? Add some awesome special effects, action sequences and Keanu Reeves to a story which questions the world we live in and you've got a hit on your hands.
This book accompanies the release of the highly anticipated first sequel to 'The Matrix' is 'The Matrix Reloaded', with the second sequel, 'The Matrix Revolutions', and the $20 million computer game, 'Enter The Matrix' for future release.
'Exploring The Matrix' is ideal for die-hard fans (of which there are many), the essays contained within it delve deeper into the theories outlined in the films and identify the relevance of the film to modern life on planet Earth.
Contributors to the book include some of the film world and sci-fi's most respected commentators: Bruce Sterling, John Shirley, Pat Cadigan, Ian Watson, Stephen Baxter, Walter John Williams, James Patrick Kelly, David Brin, John Haldeman, and more.
