Response Quote
"The Matrix plays on cultural theorists' concerns that postmodern culture has lost contact with tangible reality because it surfs a sea of signifiers, as exemplified by Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulations, which just happens to be the hollowed out book in which Neo stores his illegal sim discs" (Blazier 2).
