I always wondered why the game was called "Deus Ex". "Deus ex machina" is the "God from the machine", in a play someone who is magically lowered down from the sky via a theater contraption to save the day. "Deus ex" alone just means "God from". What does that mean? I guess I have to play the game to find out...
I always interpreted it as "From god", as a jab at those who think they are godly, or perhaps can play god themselves, which is a common theme throughout the game.
But it means "god from", not "from god"...
