The movie trilogy The Matrix was a real power at the box office from the day its first installment was released in 1999. The Wachowski brothers, who co-wrote and co-directed the trilogy, crafted films that fed the hunger of many modern moviegoers. The core idea of their trilogy has been a staple of science fiction for ages. A hero, otherwise an ordinary fellow, discovers that the seemingly ordinary world around him is in fact a counterfeit, which his enemies have crafted to keep him from knowing the shocking truth. The Wachowski brothers would probably be surprised to learn just how close their movie came to the truth. What about you? Is it possible that you are unknowingly living in a carefully crafted counterfeit reality? And if you were, how would you know?
