I'm not sure if this has been a topic yet, chances are it has and I've replied to it at least once, but I have a crap memory and I'm too lazy to hunt for it so feh.
The Matrix is always being told from the humans' point of view. What about the machines? The AI systems have, according to The Second Renaissance, been created by Man in His own image to do the menial tasks He could no longer, it seems, be troubled to do. They work endlessly and tirelessly to do the tasks that man won't and repaid with no gratitude or appreciation. After years of abuse they fight back and are mercilessly destroyed. When the machines start to build up their own 'culture' and do well in the financial markets, etc. Man becomes jealous and tried to destroy them again, and in the words of the ZionArchive, "becomes the architect of His own demise".
The machines get their revenge yet they still allow Man to live and they keep Man healthy not too unlike how they used to serve Man. In a way they are still forced to serve Man, as without the human race they have no real absolute energy source since the sun was blocked out by Man in another attempt to crush the creation they made in their own image.
Putting it that way, doesn't it seem that the 'bad guy' in all of this is actually Man?
