Title: The Desert Isn't So Dry
Review: As a huge fanatic for anything "The Matrix", I read this book as soon as I learned of its existence. I had high hopes, and I was not disappointed.The book is arranged in essays, contributed by various philosophers from a variety of backgrounds. They are usually well-written, and cover a broad range of material with a healthy amount of quoting and reference back to the movie itself. Some covered similar themes, though each contributor brought something different to the mix.The only thing I found boring was the last essay. It was just not my style, and that is the only reason. This is the reason I did not give it a 5-star rating. I did not agree with some of the conclusions drawn, but I found these well presented and discussed.If you are a Matrix fan with an interest in philosophy, (but daunted by the language used in philosophy, like me), "The Matrix and Philosophy" is an excellent book. It is a great read, and it kept me hooked almost until the end.
