Anything appearing in grey represents a link that is no longer valid. I decided to still preserve the text and URL for historical value. I also recommend the Shopping section of this website, which conveniently consolidates all Matrix-related items available on Amazon.com.

Philosophy & Religion

• Official Matrix Essays - Philosophical essays straight from the official Matrix site. (http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/phi.html)
• The Many Meanings of the Matrix - An interview between Larry Wachowski and Ken Wilbur. How deep does your understanding of philosophy go? Parts of this conversation went way above my head, but I'm sure some out there will have the background necessary to follow this.
• Platonism, Cartesianism and Hegel’s Thought in The Matrix Trilogy - A published academic paper by Predgrag Milidrag tracing the philosophical evolution of Neo through the three movies.
• The Matrix Universe Part 1 - Artsy essay with graphics explaining the connection of Hinduism to the Matrix movies

Symbolism

• Dew's Matrix Fan page - Includes thorough analyses of parallels to Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, usage of colors, themes/concepts, names, and many other topics.
• Matrixfans.net - Symbolism of names

The Matrix Online

• MxO Archive - This is a detailed account of one MxO player's experiences playing the game. It will give you a good feel of how the game looks and feels. Some of the graphics in my Matrix Online section are from this site.
• The Matrix Online Story - In case CloudWolf's summary of the Matrix Online isn't detailed enough for you, this site offers extremely detailed documentation of the Matrix Online story. Even if you're not interested in the Matrix Online, this site is well worth a visit just to see the exceptional graphic design.
• The Megacity Times - A player-run newspaper written from the redpill point of view (as opposed to the bluepill point of view in The Sentinel, which is written by Matrix Online staff). Even though The Megacity Times is not run by official MxO staff, the players do an excellent job of writing about current happenings within the game. (http://www.themegacitytimes.com)
• Interview with Paul Chadwick - Gamespy.com interview with the storyline writer for The Matrix Online
• MxO Resource - This link goes directly to the section dealing with The Sentinel, displaying all original Sentinel issues from the game. Each Sentinel page in my MxO section links directly to these original Sentinel issues. (http://mxoresource.com/p/the_sentinel)

For Fun

• The Muppet Matrix - The title speaks for itself.
• Matrix Ping Pong - A live-action ping pong match with Matrix-like effects from a Japanese TV show.
• Wachowskis Chat - Chat session between the Wachowskis and their fans
