Valid start for a counter argument, but it doesn't go far enough. The matrix series is scifi, but I don't think anyone would call it literature. The idea that the machines will rule us has been around since Fritz Lang's Metropolis, and possibly before, so we aren't exacly breaking any new ground here.
That said, the Matrix was borrowed from ideas in Japanese Manga. I think you'd find that is one area where ideas of starships & BFGs still reigns.
Why would Uncle Sam want to force M$ to secure windows, when it presently allows 'us' access to 'enemy' nation's boxen? Let's just fix ours! (Isn't that what the NSA is all about?)

Look at this for more info.
