What‘s ‘real‘? Could ‘this‘ all be a dream; a game; an illusion; a computer simulation? The Matrix and its sequels raised profound - some would say pointless - philosophical questions which had already been asked by philosophers from Plato to Descartes and all points in between. This book of essays explores their points of view non-technically and without unnecessary jargon, examining various answers to the ‘real‘ question along the way.

This was one of the inspirations for The Matrix, and I‘ve never read it, but now I want to!
When messianic hacker Neo kick-boxes the Matrix's virtual-reality dream-prison, he is really struggling with some of mankind's biggest conundrums: the nature of truth and reality, the possibility of free will, the mind-body problem and the alienation of labor in late-capitalist society. The tacit goal here is to make philosophy fun for the general reader by orienting it to pop-culture reference points.
