Line 38:
* This is the background of ''[[9]].'' The film itself is more about robots vs. robots, since the last human is dead before the movie opens, but we find out in newsreel footage that humanity was destroyed by The Fabrication Machine.
* ''[[The Matrix]]'' takes place [[After the End]] brought during a war with the machines. Most of humanity is unaware of this because of the titular system set up by the machines to use the humans as power.
