It's the year 2199...

People are still the same.

They'll do anything to get what they need.

And they need The Sims.

The Sims is people!
The Wachowski's should have gone with "The Hilbert Space". Much punchier.

The concept of "the Matrix" must predate Neuromancer because it appeared in a 1976 episode of Doctor Who called "The Deadly Assassin".


An argument could be made that the concept goes all the way back to Plato's allegory of the cave, but a more plausible starting point would be Descartes' evil genius (aka brain in a vat). See also: Influences and interpretations of The Matrix.
