Lain is about how Lains life improves once her parents start paying more attention to her
as for the plot I can't remember it that well, lains friend acks and then lain gets absorbed in computers and then the government is watching her and then aliens are watching her
it's also about taking girls to the gay bar

It's not surprising my main memories are based on what I think it's about more than the plot itself, I watched it at the request of a friend who wanted to know what meaning different people took from it for a school project so I was focused on finding meaning as I watched it.

It's Alice in Wonderland but Alice is a sleek haired Japanese geek girl with a cute, tight butt and a kuma kigurumi to boot!

girl gets obsessed with the internet and then has an existential crisis when she learns she's an intangible concept given form by someone that wants to use her to rise to godhood. She denies him this by deleting herself from everyone's memories

Lain is the collective consciousness of the human race created by a man who plugged in the earth's resonant frequency into the newest internet protocol then embedded himself into the same protocol. He hopes to use Lain to break down the barriers between the internet and the real world because he's a god inside the internet and thus he'd become a god in the real world. But he was always a false god. Eventually after defeating him Lain uses her powers as a basically actual god to erase herself from everyone's memories because people clinging to the idea of a god inside the internet leads to nothing good.

Lain is the collective conscious of humanity who believes she is human. She is gifted a computer by her father, and becomes obsessed with it. Unknown to her, an internet man is working behind the scenes to ensnare her in a rabbit hole and eventually dissociate her from her humanity so that he can absorb her and become an all powerful god.

I don't think lain is a monotheist god she's more like a Shinto god of the wired
Kami is just mistranslated into god
