Serial Experiments Lain (x-post Amazon)

We're all connected, or so this series says. And in oh what a way it does so! So, as always the near future is upon us, and as always some light extrapolation on current trends (remember, this is 1996/7-made) leads us into an unnerving play on what is real and what our consciousness can end up experiencing. The fury of technological reality and the unreality of everyday reality can seem a bit trite at times, but at no point in Serial Experiments Lain did i feel a suspension of disbelief. The pacing is slow and beautiful, and the mannerisms of the characters reinforce the unnerving nature of the topic without becoming parodies of themselves. If you have any interest in the potentialities inherent in our current technological developments then i highly recommend watching this series.
