I do enjoy modern interpretations of the classics. I have heard this one as well but I doubt it was the original intent of the author.

Matrix Revolutions (which was a huge pile of crap of a movie by the way) had a really good fan made plot. Short version: Zion is just a Matrix within The Matrix for the 10% of humans that reject the virtual world that was created for them by the Machines. Neo was nothing more than a machine himself. Pretty bleak shit but would have made for a far better movie ending.

There is actually a ton of dialog AND EVENTS in the movie that supports this theory but sadly the Wachowski's never thought of this themselves (their writing simply isn't that great) or we would have seen a 4th movie by now.

Um.... oh yeah and GO EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL!!!
