Sometimes reality is just too much — it feels like we’re experiencing one giant global systems failure. We dream of a world free from war, poverty, pandemic, exploitation. We crave escape. Heather found such escape in the sci-fi classic “The Matrix”. In her fanzine of the same name (which also feels an awful lot like a perzine, in the very best way possible), she recounts how seeing the flick back in 1999 awakened her mind to new possibilities, and inspired her dreams of a post-capitalist future and a world where anything is possible. This zine is short and to-the-point, and the text is accompanied by some fantastic illustrations of key moments from the films. Whether you’re a fan of the film, or you’re just burnt out by this reality we’re living in, “The Matrix: a Fanzine” is worth a read.
