Wasn’t this the original conceptualization for the Matrix?

  Speaking of earlier concepts of The Matrix, there's an old 1973 German movie/mini series World on a Wire that's really good.

  Wasn't the matrix using humans as some sort of power source/batteries? I may be misremembering though, as that seems pretty silly in retrospect ..

    Yes, but as I’ve read it that was to simplify it at studio demand for 1999 audiences. The original conception was to use human minds as coprocessors

      That sure would have made a lot more sense, unfortunate that they went with the battery story in the end.

  Other way around - the machines were using human brains as a substrate for computing. If they can get Doom to run on a pregnancy test surely they could get it running on human brain cells?
