In Matrix Resurrections, Neo also notably exists as a video game developer of a system called, The Matrix. The account of this is ironic; it’s not unlike today’s world where Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is putting together a system known as Meta.
By Zuckerberg’s own admission, Meta is a virtual reality where people can plug in; they can live, communicate, hold conferences, and otherwise exist in a world under the control of Zuckerberg.
In doing so, humans in the real world literally become the batteries that keep Meta functioning and profitable. If this isn’t a dead ringer for the Matrix, then nothing is.
Matrix Resurrections is currently in theaters and on HBO Max.
