Second Life? Try Getting A First Life!

Am I the only person who finds a terrifying irony in the fact that the Wachowski Brothers were so near the mark and yet so very far off with The Matrix?

Isn't it just a little bit, just the teensiest bit fucking scary that it doesn't look like it'll take an entire army of machines and the aftermath of a nuclear war to confine the human race to a virtual simulation of real life?

No, all you need to do is offer people the opportunity to buy a house there and they fucking queue up to insert themselves into the Matrix.

No need for Agent Smith, just Estate Agent Smith.
