We're all Connected.
"There is a world around us, a world of people, tactile sensation, and culture. There is the Wired world, inside the computer, of images, personalities, virtual experiencies, and a culture all of its own. The day after a classmate commits suicide, Lain, a thirteen year old girl, discovers how closely the 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?"
