Humanity is its own worst enemy, as this theory asserts. It suggests that the machines controlling reality are, in fact, good guys, doing exactly what they were programmed to do by their human creators. Neo and his crew are sabotaging everything, according to this line of thinking, and need to be stopped for the good of mankind.
The idea behind this theory is that humanity essentially destroyed the world, using up its resources and rendering the planet uninhabitable. The only way forward was to go into cryosleep and create an AI network of machines to clean up the mess and take care of humanity in the meantime. Without the machines, the world is entirely doomed. No one, the plan’s architects might have supposed, would be able to break out of the mass dream and interfere with the AI’s important work until it was done.
That’s precisely what Neo and friends have been up to, of course. Rather than making just one of the original team into bad guys, perhaps The Matrix 4 will make them all into villains. Unwitting ones to be sure, but villains nonetheless, sabotaging their own chance at a future. It’s a twist to be sure … but it could pay off enormously.
