Does anyone know of any good books discussing the ideas of the Matrix trilogy?

there are'nt many i can find, but in saying that im in sydney, so its sometimes HARD to keep up with the states. there is a few different books out there but most cover the first movie, or the general idea of the matrix. go to amazon.com and search for the matrix and they have afew.

here is a few off the top of my head:

"art of the matrix" by the wachowski bros (very good book)
"way of the matrix warrior" by jake horsley
"expoloring the matrix" this is a book of essay's about the matrix
also the matrix comic which has just been released

hope this helps

if there are any new ones that i dont know about, let me know

cheers

If you are interested in the Religious and philosophical allegories of the Matrix a good read is :

The Gospel Reloaded
Chris Seay and Greg Garrett

It was written by a comtemporary Christian priest and he makes some decent points. Personally, i'm not Christian, but it was an interesting read none the less. And it isn't like you can deny the fact that there are Christian allegories in the Matrix. Not to mention it touches on other sources the W. Brothers used such as Gnosticism and others.

I know a very interesting book on matrix trilogy but it's only in french! It's Matrix: Philosophie ( Matrix: Philosophy)

They dont talk about the matrix persay, buit they do delve into teh reality and the world in which the matrix could be (if your not already a believer). They are as followes:

Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baldrillard

Out of Control by Kevin Kelly

Introducing Evolutionary Psychology.

All fasinating and great reads.

OTTAWA — Canadians are bracing themselves for a bad news budget from Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government and are firmly opposed to the Tories' plan to slash the public nike-air-jordan.org... pension system for future senior citizens, a new poll has found.

The national survey by Ipsos Reid nike-air-max-pascher.org..., conducted for Postmedia News and Global TV, suggests that while Canadians are ready for a March 29 austerity budget that slashes government spending to reduce the deficit, the public has not yet accepted Harper's argument for why the pension system needs to be cut.

The poll found that 49 per cent of Canadians are preparing for a "bad news" budget from federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and that 57 per cent do not "trust" Harper and the Conservatives to make the "right choices" to ensure the budget is "fair and reasonable nike-air-max-pascher.net...."

As well nike-air-max90.net..., more than two-thirds of Canadians oppose the view that the country needs to "sacrifice" pensions to keep taxes down or increase the retirement age to control rising pension system costs.

"If he moves on pensions, it's going to get nasty," Ipsos Reid president Darrell Bricker said in an interview Friday.

Bricker said it's clear the government has "conditioned" the public for a tough budget and that Canadians won't be expecting tax cuts or a message of "sunshine and celebration" from Flaherty air-max-soldes.net....

But it has failed to prepare the public for the political time bomb — on pension cutbacks — that seems ready to explode.

"To the extent that there is going to be a controversial and difficult part of this budget that could get the government in some real difficulty acheternikechaussures.org..., it would be around this issue. It's because they have not made the case."
