Sorry the sun has gone out, or, so says Morpheus, but he has been wrong
before hasn't he?
I believe the story to be much thicker than most give it credit for...but
hay, I give Keyono much more credit as an actor than many as well.
My opinion, the sun didn't go out, or if it did the machines are not
enslaving mankind.
My guess, mankind no-longer exists as humanoids, or if they are, they
"escaped" into the matrix. Or were put their to facilitate a long voyage.
