Infinite Jest is a sprawling, complex, and multilayered novel set in a near-future world where entertainment, addiction, and media have become all-consuming. The book centers around the Incandenza family, particularly Hal Incandenza, a brilliant but troubled tennis prodigy, and the residents of a nearby drug rehabilitation center. With its intricate narrative structure, footnotes, and philosophical meditations, Infinite Jest explores themes of happiness, existentialism, and the human desire for meaning in an increasingly fragmented world.
