科幻如何找到信仰从前有一个年轻人，他注定与其他的年轻人不同。古老的预言提及他的出现，以及他将铸下的奇迹般的丰功伟业。最后，面对他的敌人，年轻人牺牲了自己的生命，将全人类从深重的苦难中拯救出来。关于他身世的传说十分动人，关于他复活的传说同样恢弘：他将在灿烂的光华中主宰一个得到救赎的世界。如果把这个故事讲给全世界二十亿基督徒中的任何一个人听，他一定能立刻意识到这个年轻人是谁。如果把这个故事讲给一个科幻或是奇幻爱好者听，他则会问你为什么要对《黑客帝国》或者《超人归来》的情节做这些小改动。就像当今全球政治以及文化风貌受到的影响一样，在这个时代最成功的科幻奇幻电影产业中，有一部分影片本质上走的是基督教性质的情节路线。 Hallelujah!” cries a minor character early in The Matrix, the 1999 cyberpunk flick, directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski, that took the nation by storm and, together with its two sequels, raked in about $600 million domestically. “You’re my savior, man, my own personal Jesus Christ.” The character is addressing Thomas Anderson, a restless computer hacker, played by Keanu Reeves, who goes by the handle “Neo” and has sold him some precious illegal software.

First, a mysterious man named Morpheus must contact him, conveying a shocking truth: the universe isn’t real but is actually a “Matrix”—a “neural interactive simulation,” a “computer-generated dreamworld”—and the year isn’t 1999 but something like 2199. Early in the twenty-first century, Morpheus explains, human beings and intelligent machines went to war against one another. The machines, seeking a constant source of bioelectrical energy, started to breed people and use them as human generators, keeping them in little cells but convincing them, through illusion-conveying cables attached to their brains, that they still lived in an ordinary world. “You are a slave, Neo,” Morpheus says. “Like everyone else, you were bo
