This book charts the shape of future philosophical investigation by
posing the question: "What is the Matrix?" Guided by the example of
the Matrix film trilogy, the author examines issues ranging from
simulation, proof and action to value, culture and mythology,
offering a progressively deeper diagnosis of modern philosophical
conditions. In contrast to the contemporary focus upon cognitive
science and a commitment to the distinction between appearance and
reality, this book helps readers to explore the argument that such
abstractions are inevitably displaced by a more concrete
distinction between dreaming and waking, with the Matrix as the
real and only world we inhabit. Researchers and scholars will find
this work an engaging and enlightening examination of reality, via
the medium of popular culture and film.
