"Endless Jest" by David Foster Wallace is a unique and complex novel. Set in a highly developed material world, it centers around a mysterious film titled "Infinite Jest." Once people watch this film, they become hopelessly addicted. The story involves a tennis school, a drug rehabilitation center, a Canadian separatist group, and the US intelligence agency. Wallace weaves a web of various themes such as family, addiction, suicide, absurdity, entertainment, politics, and culture. His extraordinary use of language and ingenious construction of the story structure make this book not only an engaging read but also a source for reflecting on the problems in an age of addiction.
