Fair use for Cyberpunk

This image is a single frame from a fairly well-known anime, Serial Experiments Lain, a series whose fanbase considers it an example of "anime as literature" (quoting the Lain article). The scene depicted here illustrates a common image in cyberpunk media, the hacker in deep-hacking mode surrounded by video screens. (Compare, e.g., Neo's first appearance in The Matrix.) Having this picture in the article provides an illuminating reference both for the cyberpunk visual style and for cyberpunk thematic content, in addition to supplying an instance of a common trope. It is therefore of considerable scholarly utility.

No free or public domain images of this scene (or its analogues in other visual media works) have been located. This picture does not compromise the Serial Experiments Lain storyline, nor does it interfere with the copyright holders' ability to profit from Lain.
