The anime had a video game spin-off released in for the PlayStation console, and also a manga title, The Nightmare of Fabrication , which was published in May The shy year-old girl Lain Iwakura lives in a suburb of Tokyo with her tech- and computer-obsessed father, her cool mother and her expressionless older sister Mika Iwakura. After eighth grader Chisa Yomoda committed suicide, several of her class still receive e-mails from her.
Most consider the mail as just a regular Interned-based hoax. Lain also receives an email like this, and Chisa reveals to her in real time via the Wired that she did not die, but only put her body down and found God in the Wired.
The Wired is actually an international computer network that is structured like the Internet but functions as an avatar-based social networking platform. Lain now wants to get to the bottom of these events, but she is also suspected of having written the emails.
Only her friend Alice Mizuki stands by her side during these events. During this time, Lain goes to the Cyberia club in Shibuya with Alice and other friends. Strange events occur there and Lain realizes that there is a very well-known Lain in the Wired, whom she is often confused with.
She also meets others of her age who can often be found in the club, according to Taro. Yoshitoshi Abe is notably uninvolved in the production of this book. The Weather Break illustrations are reprinted in it in very small dimensions, but other than that nothing in the book was drawn by him, and he was not interviewed for it.

Alice: "One have never existed if there is no memory. Therefore, events on screen can be considered hallucinations of Lain, of other protagonists, or of Lain fabricating the hallucinations of others.
Story misdirection is central to the plotline; even the offscreen voices or narrations' information cannot be considered truthful. The series consists of a cross-reflection of philosophical themes instead of the traditional linear events depiction: episodes are called "layers".
Serial Experiments Lain describes "the Wired" as the sum of human communication networks, created with the telegraph and telephone services, and expanded with the Internet and subsequent networks. The anime assumes that the Wired could be linked to a system that enables unconscious communication between people and machines without physical interface.
The storyline introduces such a system with the Schumann resonance, a property of the Earth's magnetic field that theoretically allows for unhindered long distance communications. If such a link was created, the network would become equivalent to Reality as the general consensus of all perceptions and knowledge. The thin line between what is real and what is possible would then begin to blur. If time flows in a way that isn't constant and the future can have an effect on the past and vice-versa, why does it matter that Lain is essentially God at the end of the series?
After she has her encounter with him, watching how intensely he wants it to be true that he is indeed God, she essentially takes on the characteristics of a Goddess. But also, when she goes back to the real world despite the fact that she now is everyone, Alice doesn't remember her at all. What is the world at this point?
When Lain finishes becoming God, she has the ability to exist in The Wired, in-between the two of them, or in the real world. But, what are any of these places?
Are they at all distinguishable from each other? As far as we can see in the series, there really isn't a distinction made between any of these places. There are merely minor differences. While Alice doesn't recognize Lain at the end of the series, this most likely doesn't matter since technically, Lain is Alice. The distinctions between self and others have disappeared. Lain is both the ticket that Masami Eiri needs to make sure that the lines between The Wired and the real world disappear, but, at the same time, she's a child.
She has a family. She has a bit of a social life, even though we see that she only has a couple of friends, and the friends that she does have don't exactly treat her like she's valuable. Another thing is that she doesn't really have a social life until the series starts.
