In a year not
at all far from today, the Internet has taken one step farther into becoming a
world of its own; with powerful systems called Navis, everyone from businessmen
to kindergartners jumps into the Wired to interact, play games, make friends,
and gossip. Imagine that. Left out of this is Lain, a reserved junior high
school student who has never taken much to the Wired, despite the fact that her
father's in the computer business. But that begins to change when a classmate of
Lain's commits suicide, and a few days later several students--including
Lain--receive e-mails from the girl, telling them that she merely left her body,
and is still alive and well in the Wired. Slowly, Lain's attitude begins to
change, but as she becomes more involved with her Navi, the world around her and
her friends becomes increasingly more unstable. More suicides and bizarre
killings happen one after another, and Lain is somehow connected to them... But
how?
