The Matrix Vs Warren Robinett Robinett’s Prequel to the Matrix “Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real. What if you were unable to wake from that dream' How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world'” (The Matrix) Those words may not be science fiction for very long. In the late twentieth century, a concept called virtual reality was developed. From the name, a person could tell that it was some sort of alternative reality involving computers. In 1991, Warren Robinett wrote an article called “Electronic Expansion of Human Perception,” which defines virtual reality as “a 3D video game you can enter by strapping something onto your face that fools your senses into perceiving an environment that surrounds you on all sides” (Robinett, 275). Robinett believes that with Virtual reality systems, our lives will become virtually easier. In the same decade, brothers by the name of Larry and Andy Wachowski wrote and directed a movie called The Matrix. The Matrix takes place in the year 2199, where machines have taken control of the earth.
