Serial Experiments Lain
serial experiments lain / シリアルエクスペリメンツレイン / Wirtualna LainSummary
We're all connected... There is the world around us, a world of people, tactile sensation, and culture. There is the wired world, inside the computer, of images, personalities, virtual experiences, and a culture all of its own. The day after a classmate commits suicide, Lain, a 14-year-old girl, discovers how closely the two worlds are linked when she receives an e-mail from the dead girl: I just abandoned my body. I still live here...
Has the line between the real world and the wired world begun to blur?
