Publishing Date: 2003-09-01
Features: An outstanding and groundbreaking science fiction novel. A single gene mutation allows the human brain to freely enter computer systems. A curse grants limitless abilities, but such people must be killed before they grow up! The Matrix – a novel that makes you worry about the future of the world. The Matrix is the source material for the movie The Matrix, divided into three parts: Time and Space Heroes, Ghost, and Shadow. The story of the novel differs from the movie, and the temporal and spatial philosophy it reflects also varies. It is said that the author of the novel, Lastman, regretted after watching the movie The Matrix and said: "The movie turned my novel into a children's cartoon and simplified my thoughts." To date, this novel has sold nearly 100 million copies worldwide in English-speaking countries, setting a sales record for contemporary action science fiction novels. However, like the movie, not everyone can understand this book. If you have no interest in science fiction, are unfamiliar with symbols like computer people, genetic mutations, and cybernetic spaces, or simply don’t want to let Lastman take you into the world of the 24th century, this book is likely to leave you confused or only partially understanding. But if you are a science fiction enthusiast with a keen interest and understanding of the details of future-world technology, you will likely dive into an enthralling world. This book has a fast pace, plenty of dialogue, and is highly visual, almost like a movie. It’s a test of your imagination.
