Matrix Revelations

de Steve Couch, Tony Watkins, Peter S. Williams

What is The Matrix? Groundbreaking, innovative and much imitated, *The Matrix* trilogy represents the most talked about cinematic experience in recent years. Unrivalled in uniting serious philosophical thought with serious box office, *The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded* and *The Matrix Revolutions* occupy a unique place in popular culture. *Matrix Revelations: A Thinking Fan’s Guide to the Matrix Trilogy* examines the *Matrix* phenomenon, with in-depth analysis ranging from the science fiction and comic book influences to the philosophical and religious themes that underpin the films. If you love *The Matrix* and don’t just fast-forward from one action scene to the next, then open up the pages of this book and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. *Matrix Revelations: A Thinking Fan’s Guide to the Matrix Trilogy* is the first in the Thinking Fan’s Guide series. We believe it was the first book to be published covering the whole trilogy – our publication date of 11 December 2003 was just 36 days after *The Matrix Revolutions* was released in cinemas across the world! The writers/directors Andy and Larry Wachowski used a powerful story to raise very big questions from beginning to end of the *Matrix* trilogy (despite the failure of some film critics to realise this). This book enables you to identify and consider those questions.
