Six months after the events depicted in The Matrix, Neo has proved to be a good omen for the free humans, as more and more humans are being freed from the matrix and brought to Zion, the one and only stronghold of the Resistance. Neo himself has discovered his superpowers including super speed, ability to see the codes of the things inside the matrix and a certain degree of pre-cognition. But a nasty piece of news hits the human resistance: 250,000 machine sentinels are digging to Zion and would reach them in 72 hours. As Zion prepares for the ultimate war, Neo, Morpheus and Trinity are advised by the Oracle to find the Keymaker who would help them reach the Source. Meanwhile Neo's recurrent dreams depicting Trinity's death have got him worried and as if it was not enough, Agent Smith has somehow escaped deletion, has become more powerful than before and has fixed Neo as his next target.

《美利坚共和国的成长》一书最初于1930年以单卷本形式问世，所叙述的范围起自1763年，迄于1917年。在其后的三十多年里，年长的两位著者重编了四次版本。1962年所出的第五版，由莫里森负责编写直到南、北战争为止的部分，以及下卷中关于第二次世界大战的各章J康马杰负责编写从1860年开始的部分，下卷中关于第二次世界大战的各章除外。
《美利坚共和国的成长》一书，是当代美国资产阶级历史学家编著的一部美国通史，初版于1930年问世，其后几经修改，至1969年共出了六版，在同类著作中是流行较久和较广的一种。著者莫里森曾写过《航海家克里斯托弗·哥伦布》、 《第二次世界大战中美国海军作战史》等书；康马杰曾主编美国历史丛书和文献集多种j洛伊希滕堡著有《富兰克林·罗斯福与新政》、《繁荣的危难》等书。
本书分上、下两卷，正文共约一百五十万字，按年代顺序，从美洲人类的起源，一直记述到1968年尼克松当选为美国总统。内容涉及美国历史上各个时期经济、政治、文化、社会等方面的发展情况，范围广泛，资料较多，在编写上亦具特色，有一定的参考价值。但著者完全站在资产阶级立场，力图为美国资产阶级专政的社会政洽制度及其帝国主义侵略扩张政策作辩护，其观点、方法和种种议论，错误荒谬之处甚多。因此，阅读时希注意批判。
这一新的版本，由洛伊希滕堡承担重新修订的主要责任，并写出关于最近时期的新的一章；但奠里森和康马杰也作了许多修改，特别是对于旧版中他们所写的各章。我们对于曾向我们指出以前各版错误之处的许多读者，对于阅读过部分原稿的各位同事，以及对于本书脚注中已分别提及的许多惠允引用某些诗文的作家和出版家，谨致以诚挚的谢意。我们是为各种年龄的男女青年而写作的，对他们说来，在叙述真实情况时力求简略既无必要，也不恰当。我们相信，历史是包括人民的全部活动在内的：有经济和社会的方面，有文学和精神的方面，也有政治和军事的方面。我们因此曾竭力对这些不同的方面给予应有的着重，以求能使我们的这部书，成为对一个扩展中的美利坚合众国内部一种不断成长和变化的文化的叙述。

在宽容与不宽容之间，宗教以血腥和仁慈维护着它几千年的统治，更迭变幻、不滞不流。从众神的黄昏到好奇的人，从宗教裁判所到新天堂，从耶稣基督到布鲁诺……历史席卷一切，也记忆一切。而在这一切之后，始终不离其左右，是利益抑或是人性？
这是一部宗教的历史，一部宽容与不宽容的历史，也是一郜人性血腥与进步的历史。文图之间，《宽容》生动地再现了这一历史。

While flying, a powerful storm forces Quinn to make an emergency landing on a nearby deserted island. The dissimilar pair avoid each other at first, until they're forced to team up to escape from the island -- and some pirates who want their heads.

“近距离看美国”之四《如彗星划过夜空》，依旧是以书信形式来表达内容。全书主要分为两部分：一、通过记述发生在1787年美国费城制宪会议前后的一系列故事，梳理美国宪政民主从源头、发展到相对成熟和付诸实践的基本过程。作者循着制宪会议的进程，一步步讲述并层层推出对美国宪法中有关制度设计的思想土壤、历史机遇、基本理念的思考；描述出美国早期的思想家和政治家面对各种不同的思想观点，遵从游戏规则，于交锋和妥协中显示的政治智慧。同时也对美国宪政制度中可忧虑的问题和历史的局限等做了分析。

本书通过精彩动人的故事，展示了美国种族问题相关联的，社会意识和法律演进史。介绍了在契约社会里，立法的民众基础，法律对人性的思考，法律的变化与社会理趟的关系等问题。通过作者的叙述，读者能够看到，在法治国家里，民众，尤其是弱势人群怎样运用法律，经过长期抗争，取得自身权益，并由此推动社会认识的深化，使整个国家在消除不公正的历史进程中取得稳定的进步。

本书是《历史深处的忧虑――近距离看美国》的姊妹篇，作者继续以信件的形式，从“美国总统是什么？”这样一个问题开始，用一连串的故事，层层铺排出美国政治法律制度的基本原理和操作细节，使读者更深刻地了解美国是如何在自身的制度系统中，通过“平衡和制约”去实施对权力的监督和限制。
