Q drop 749 Coincidence the Matrix (movie) grew people as a crop, used for energy, and controlled their mind? Sound familiar? Wonder where they derived that idea from. Now comes the 'conspiracy' label. Deeper we go, the more unrealistic it all becomes. The end won't be for everyone. That choice, to know, will be yours. Q

So, the idea for the Matrix movies comes from a book by Jean Baudrillard called Simulacra et Simulation (Simulacra and Simulation) written in 1981. The Wachowskis have been wishy-washy on whether their ideas for the movie series comes from this book, or not, but if you read the book, you'll see that it does. Very Marxist/Freudian/Fabian Society-esque in it's post-modern thought lines, even though critics and reviewers say otherwise.

From U of Michigan Press page:
The first full-length translation in English of an essential work of postmodernism.
The publication of Simulacra et Simulation in 1981 marked Jean Baudrillard's first important step toward theorizing the postmodern. Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.
Baudrillard uses the concepts of the simulacra—the copy without an original—and simulation. These terms are crucial to an understanding of the postmodern, to the extent that they address the concept of mass reproduction and reproduceability that characterizes our electronic media culture.
Baudrillard's book represents a unique and original effort to rethink cultural theory from the perspective of a new concept of cultural materialism, one that radically redefines postmodern formulations of the body.

Praise / Awards "Baudrillard's studies in simulacra and simulation are among his most important work, particularly as they pertain to his concept of postmodernity and analyses of postmodern culture. The English translation of these essays is therefore very welcome." —Douglas Kellner, University of Texas, Austin "Simulacra and Simulation is arguably Baudrillard's most important book. In it he moves from a theory of consumer society governed by a 'code' to a general theory of culture that problematizes 'reality.' His idea of the hyperreal informs most discussions." —Mark Poster, University of California, Irvine ". . . a very accessible introduction to [Baudrillard's] thought." —The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory
As you can see, Baudrillard drew upon his knowledge of CRT and Cultural Theory extensively to write this. This writing is what modern day Socio-Fasci-Communism has employed in our schools, courts, politics, militaries, and cultures throughout the world.
