Lisa Yaszek Lisa Yaszek, a professor in the School of Literature, Media and Communication was quoted in the article, '‘The Matrix Resurrections’ Is a Movie for Grown-Ups', published January 14, 2022 in Wired.
The article discusses the newest Matrix movie, The Matrix Resurrections.
An excerpt:
“It feels to me very much like a contemporary cyberpunk story, not just in that it’s moved from a gee-whiz sort of attitude about the internet to a more jaded attitude, but really more in terms of hope,” she says. “There’s this hope that people can connect and think logically and rationally and creatively and maybe make the world a better place. And I think that’s the ultimate science fiction message.”
