Infinite Jest

This book is impossible to categorize, summarize or write a simple description of, but I'll try anyway.
Infinite Jest takes place in in a dystopian near future. A future where to help alleviate budget shortfalls, the naming rights to every year are up for auction to the highest bidder. The story mostly takes place in “The Year of Depend Adult Undergarment” (YDAU) at a tennis academy. But the story isn't really about tennis, or the new political structure of the Organization of North American States, or film theory or any of the other wide ranging topics that the book covers. It seems to mostly about horrible, substance addicted broken people not really getting by, just kinda dragged along the road of life, leaving a bloody trail as they go.

Infinite Jest is wonderfully written but horrible. It's very funny and funk inducing. Very much worth the read if you can bear it.
