The Matrix has inspired an active online community, of which our site is one example. Accuse us of overgeneralization, but we've found Matrix fans are thoughtful, tolerant, intelligent, and extremely creative. The following submissions from our readers exhibit all of those characteristics and more.

In this section you'll find reader theories for some of the most puzzling scenes in Reloaded and Revolutions, as well as 'big picture' essays on the trilogy as a whole. We're also extremely pleased to present original pieces by the authors of some of your favorite Matrix books.




If you have something you'd like to submit, we'd like to read it. We're interested in theories, interpretations, analysis, humor...heck, just about anything. Check out the pieces that some of your fellow fans have written, and let the inspiration flow! Oh, and once it does, let us know.

Go deeper into each submission category by following the sub-links above.

The Architect tells Neo he will need to choose 7 males and 16 females to rebuild Zion. This is likely a reference to Genesis 7:16, 'The animals going in were male and female of every living thing'. The total of 23 people could be a nod to human DNA, which contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.
