A rare ''SerialExperimentsLain'' fanfic, ''Nominal Experiments Lain'' takes a rather unusual take on its source material. It transplants Lain, and indeed, every character to modern, contemporary America[[note]]at least it seems rather American. No specific location has ever been named, nor is it terribly important to the story[[/note]]. In doing this, ''Nominal Experiments'' dusts off a fair bit of the mysticism surrounding the series, and breaks down and recontextualizes its philosophy. Sometimes inserting its own at various points.

Then things get weird when Lain--who has just gotten into anime--uncovers [[SerialExperimentsLain an obscure cyberpunk series from the late 90s]], which causes her to start questioning what she knows about herself and her friends. The fic is heavily referential, both to the source material (minor plot points become incredibly important), to fanworks, and to the internet in general, and it has a fair bit more action than the original too, plus a dash of humor in the earlier chapters. The result is a strange twist on the source material that offers its author's interpretation of the series, and then delves back into ambiguity just as the audience is getting comfortable standing on their neatly-explained rug.

What this results in is a story where Lain is a fairly typical highschool freshman computer geek. She hangs out on forums with her friends, browses {{imageboards}}, and sometimes even engages in a little lighthearted hacking. The other characters from the original are similarly redesigned, and ''at first'', NEL seems like a much lighter take on the source material.
