The Philosophy Behind the Matrix

Like a Splinter in Your Mind: The Philosophy Behind the Matrix Trilogy, by Matt Lawrence (TPB, 2003, $3)

"Like a Splinter in Your Mind guides you through 13 of the core philosophical questions that are explored in the Matrix films. You'll see how Morpheus manifests Kierkegaard's philosophy of faith, how Neo, the Merovingian, and Ghost exemplify the three major positions on free will, how the objectivity of value judgments are challenged by Agent Smith. and much more."

Huh? Makes no sense to me, but then I never saw the movies. Look for this on the new non-fiction table, avail. 3/21.              (Later-phil.)
