The Grid

In the Matrix, Neo brought forth confusion. He shook up the order of things and interrupted the smooth flow of the pre-ordained program. Neo was Chaos to the Matrix.

In the grid there is no clear Neo like character.

There's a Morpheus who works outside of the grid. He's called Gordon.

There was a Mr. Smith character, or Alastair if you will who is off doing his own thing and who can no longer be relied upon for the order that it brought. We can only hope that it is not replicating itself.

There is, however, no hero. No single individual who would free the masses from the governance and iron grip maintained by the grid.

Perhaps there is no hero because there is no Oracle. There is just The Nanny. The all seeing and all knowing Nanny who sits in the centre of his program. A program called The Home Office.

And there is the grid itself, craptacular in its inadequacy. Once firm and defined, now twisting and turning and more of a U shape than a grid.

Will it hold or will it fall? Will we be free?
