3 or 4 years ago, I found myself telling a friend of mine about a story I had started to write in college and never finished. I believe the files for this story are still on the hard drive of my first laptop computer.
"You see, it's about this world far in the future where everyone is plugged into a virtual reality that they live in all the time. It has been this way so long that people don't realize that it's not real. And there is this group of freedom fighters that run around trying to beat the machine and get everyone unhooked and...wait...Dammit! I was writing the Matrix!"
I wrote that about 10 years before the movies came out. I didn't even reaize it until I was telling this to my friend, because in my head everything had looked and seemed so different than in the movies that I had never associated my story with thr Matrix before.
