The Second Renaissance of Man

The Second Renaissance is an animated short film from the movie: "The Animatrix". The Animatrix came out a little after the first Matrix movie, and before its Sequel, Matrix Reloaded.

It showcases a possible future, and details the origins of how the matrix was created.

Sadly theres not amazing links to this movie, so I recommend buying it to fully appreciate it, none the less here they are:
