Learn their ways...
Matrix fan fiction by Tanathir, copyright 2002.  Original Matrix concept by Larry and Andy Wachowski.  "The Matrix" copyright 1999 by Wachowskis, Warner Brothers, and affiliates.
CWS can be read on more than one level, so in the interest of illuminating what goes on in Tan's little world, I am shamelessly copycatting oqi's concept for the Den of Iniquity and Sin explaining The Ghost in the Machine and The Hecate Cycle.  I hope to post author's insight and highlight points of interest.
Themes and Hidden Meaning
Obscure references to The Simpsons, among other things.
Shades of Grey
There is no such thing as the Good Side and the Bad Side.  There is no such thing as Just Human and Just Machine.  There are no clear-cut emotions.
The Watchers
What are they?  Why would the machines allow such a group to exist?
DISCLAIMER
Defragment
Mental rape?
Dying a little?
Enforced amnesia?
Is Smith the same person afterward?
How much will he lose?
HEAVY SPOILERS
let yourself stare oqily at the picture
Whatcha doin' down here?  Don't worry, I'll think of something to put here.
