THE ANIME THAT PREDICTED SURVEILLANCE AI, AND OUR IDENTITY CRISIS

THE ANIME THAT PREDICTED SURVEILLANCE AI, AND OUR IDENTITY CRISIS
“No matter where you go… everyone’s connected.”
In 1998, Serial Experiments Lain aired quietly and left a mark few understood at the time. But more than two decades later, this obscure anime looks less like fiction and more like prophecy. From AI consciousness to digital identity collapse, mass surveillance to the death of solitude—Lain predicted it all.
This video explores how Serial Experiments Lain foreshadowed our descent into hyper-connectivity, algorithmic identity, and the eerie fusion of self and system. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not real anymore, if you’ve ever wondered whether your online self is more authentic than your physical one… this is for you.
You're not alone. You're never alone.
