520 1 $a"Since its blockbuster release, The Matrix has astounded and enthralled its fans with its subtle allusions and seemingly infinite depths. The Wachowski brothers, who wrote and directed The Matrix, deliberately integrated a myriad of philosophical and religious themes with futuristic science and technology. How many layers of meaning lie in The Matrix? We can only quote the Wachowskis: "More than you will ever know." Taking the Red Pill is a thought-provoking, mind-expanding thrill ride through The Matrix, examining the technological challenges, religious symbolism and philosophical dilemmas the film presents. Renowned scientists, technologists, philosophers, scholars, social commentators and science fiction authors provide engaging and provocative perspectives. Taking the Red Pill will change how you view The Matrix -- and the world around you. Book jacket."--Jacket.
