Thomas Anderson is a programmer at Meta-Cortex, a major software company.
However, Thomas has another face, that of "Neo," a genius hacker who commits computer crimes.
2)
Thomas, who had been leading an ordinary life, was recently troubled by the feeling that he was dreaming even though he was awake.
He had a vague sense of discomfort:
"Maybe this world I'm living in now is a dream."
However, he spent his days without any proof to support this feeling.

One day, Thomas received the following mysterious message on his computer screen.
"Wake up, Neo."
"The Matrix has you."
"Follow the white rabbit."
