The Matrix returned, albeit in cynical and forced circumstances, after almost 20 years of sustained cultural significance. Culture writer Oluwatayo Adewole helps us understand the complex legacy of the series and the Wachowskis more generally. We inevitably talk white dreadlocked henchmen, dance orgies, and most importantly, the central metaphor of a class of robots subjugating us and stealing our lifeforce through deception.
