The Matrix trilogy is a modern day titanomachia in which the

replacement of generations of titans, gods and semi-gods, or hardware,

software and wetware, tests the relations between the humans and the
nonhumans. The supremacy of the humans and the machines is
gradually replaced by the autonomy, dominance and then even
anarchy of software. In this process, the function of the Matrix as a
place populated by different human and nonhuman agents slowly
transforms from the issues of colonization to the creation of a new
collective. This essay discusses these emancipatory and posthumanist
aspects of the Matrix trilogy in relation to posthumanist theory and
earlier attempts to speak of active nonhumanity, such as myths and
fables. New forms of alterity to humans lead to the emergence of a
new and open system, a more complex collective and society. The
most important exploration of the posthuman alterity and the most
significant forms of hybrids today is software and programming
languages. Software brings together new heterogeneous elements in
our world, as well as in the Matrix, in order to create a different and
more complex society. It translates and enables interaction between
different and even incompatible worlds of humans and machines,
but also between myth, movie and posthumanist theory.

Wait, then, for the end of history to see the realization of
