HomeLAN - Why are humans still using the Matrix in the game’s storyline rather than operate solely in the real world?

William Westwater - The Matrix is the intersection between humanity and machine. Although the War has ended, Zion has been severely damage, and the Zion military has been literally destroyed. Although the Machines have offered peace, few in Zion trust the Machines. Neo’s role in Zion’s salvation remains mysterious, and the answers lie within the Matrix. If the Matrix has the power to end the War; it probably has the power to start it again. And power is the great attractor.
