    Wasn’t that explicitly mentioned in the film, that that is the best time in civilization?

        Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization. I say “your” civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became “our” civilization, which is of course what this is all about.

      No, not the best time, just the last time in humans where actually in charge before everything started to be controlled by machines.

        IIRC the architect in part 2 even said that they tried to make the matrix a paradise, but that would make its inhabitants more suspicious, leading to a faster collapse of the fake reality.
