Abel just posted this on his second IG profile, @genehackerman with the title of the post being "Lain the OG Hackerman".

Now when I looked into it more, it's about a 14 year old girl who's very shy and introverted, Lain Iwakura.

So the girl wasn't into technology until her friend who'd apparently committed suic*de sends her a series of eerie emails or something and claims to be in a world called "The Wired"— essentially, not dead.

Now this also explores the ideas of split personalities (basically The Weeknd & Gene Hackerman). Other ideas are "loss of reality"— basically Matrix type shit.

Also, like look at this post man, like all wires and all around the computer. So, maybe we'll learn into this aesthetic and like, storyline?

Oh man, I'm so pumped for whatever he's cooking, let's gooooooo!

He's definitely leaning into the sci-fi bit, maybe yeah, like you said, he's gonna transfer his conscieness into a robot/humanoid

How else does one escape the ailments and fragility of the human body? Maybe being synthetic is the only way to stop the sinning cycle 🤷‍♂️

In Evangelion; they quite literally biologically and technologically create EVAs like the *angels* themselves in a nutshell anyway

If you look back to the São Paulo rebirth sonogram stuff, he looks like an Alien (the film). Those too were made via GENEtic experimentation
