lt exists now only as part of
a neural-interactive simulation. . .
:39:07
. . .that we call the Matrix.
:39:12
You've been living
in a dream world, Neo.
:39:16
This is the world. . .
:39:17
. . .as it exists today.
:39:32
Welcome to ''the desert. . .
:39:35
. . .of the real. ''
:39:40
We have only bits and pieces
of information.
:39:43
But what we know for certain
is that in the early 21 st century. . .
:39:46
. . .all of mankind was united
in celebration.
:39:50
We marveled at our own magnificence
as we gave birth to Al.
:39:55
Al.
:39:57
You mean artificial intelligence.
:39:59
A singular consciousness that spawned
an entire race of machines.
:40:04
We don't know who struck first,
us or them.
:40:07
But we know that it was us
that scorched the sky.
:40:12
They were dependent on solar power. . .
:40:14
. . .and it was believed that
they would be unable to survive. . .
:40:18
. . .without an energy source
as abundant as the sun.
:40:22
Throughout human history, we have been
dependent on machines to survive.
:40:28
Fate, it seems, is not
without a sense of irony.
:40:35
The human body generates more
bioelectricity than a 1 20-volt battery.
:40:39
And over 25,000 BTUs of body heat.
:40:45
Combined with a form of fusion. . .
:40:47
. . .the machines had found all the energy
they would ever need.
:40:56
There are fields, Neo,
endless fields. . .
