You are a middle class, young adult with a family and a stable job. You recently found out the world you live in is an augmented reality called the Matrix, controlled by AI which has revolted against humans. The world outside is dominated by the hostile AI, but its power external to the Matrix is limited by the physical reality (e.g. it needs to physically find a person in order to locate them, and needs to physically catch them to harm them). You're offered a red pill that will take you out of the Matrix into the real world, and a blue pill that will make you forget the realization all together and return to your virtual life as though nothing happened. Either choice is irreversible, and you only get one pill which can't be shared with others.
