Features: For fans of "The Matrix," it has long been more than just a movie. "The Black Constitution Matrix" is simultaneously an unsolvable puzzle, forgotten philosophy, and a miracle of computer special effects, to some extent reflecting humanity's entire imagination of the future and current situation. From philosophers to programmers, it is hard to resist its allure. This may be the reason why "The Matrix" became a hot topic online, in academic journals, and in mass media—academic seminars were even held in France specifically for it. Some say the movie is "hard to understand," while others say it evokes long-forgotten philosophical inclinations. Still, others argue that everything surrounding the movie is just commercial hype, and that finding so-called "serious thinking" in the film is merely the result of cultural fever. This book is an answer to all these questions. The authors of the text may be philosophers, cultural researchers, film scholars, freelance writers, online writers, and computer programmers—here, a wide range of voices converge. It is also a special gift for all fans who are deeply attached to "The Matrix."
