what if Neo was in reality from the beginning and Morpheus just drugged him and plugged him into the matrix to live in the fake hell version of earth where the fake machines took over
I'd read a thing a while back that it wasn't WiFi, and more that admin basically said "oh shit. We're not supposed to already get him at this point in the cycle. SUDO_DON'T_FUCK_WITH_HIM" and emergency aborted the squids.
I kinda like that idea better than the inexplicable WiFi, if we're not doing the MWAM approach.
