Iwakura, Yasuo: Let me give you one little warning.
Lain Iwakura: Huh?
Iwakura, Yasuo: When it's all said and done, the Wired is just a medium of communication and the transfer of information. You mustn't confuse it with the real world. Do you understand what I'm warning you about?
Lain Iwakura: You're wrong.
Iwakura, Yasuo: Huh?

Miho Iwakura: The wired might actually be thought of as a highly advanced upper layer of the real world. In other words, physical reality is nothing but an illusion, a hologram of the information that flows to us through the wired.

Baudrillard's simulacrum theory should be used. The simulacrum theory believes that the simulacra and reality "implode" in postmodern society. The "implosion" eliminates the boundary between the simulacrum and the reality, and the simulacrum is more "real" than reality, thus forming "hyperreal". "Hyperreality" replaces the reality that shapes the essence of the subject's self. The Yingri Zhengmei in the story is the one who tries to start the "imploding". He yearned for simulacrum, believing that simulacrum could promote human evolution to a new height. Lingyin resisted him and succeeded. After Lingyin restarts the world, the boundary between simulacrum and reality is repaired. Lingyin represents existentialism, rejects the erosion of the subject's self by the patterns, symbols, logic, and language represented by simulacra, resists simulacra, and pursues reality.

It's also possible that I didn't understand it at all. blank. blank. blank.
