I refuse to believe anyone genuinely likes this book. Infinite Jest challenges you to enjoy it. Every aspect of it is intentionally crafted to be as antithetical to an enjoyable reading experience as possible. I feel like a fool because I made it like halfway through before I realized the entire thing was a cynical prank contrived by Wallace.

>I have often felt underrepresented, because all of the authors and their male characters are assholes
Can't say I feel the same, but I mostly read fantasy. What genres do you read that make you feel this way?

>Is this unrealistic? Why couldn’t it happen?
You almost had it. You articulated the logical following events to their ends and triped at the finish line with the preposterous assumption that the plumbers will just do their job, and everything will be hunky dory and easily fixable after massive infrastructure collapse.

This shit is what happens when ppl are shielded in academia for so long they have ZERO perspective on the insanely MASSIVE complexity involved in supplying/maintaining the modern world.

If even half of the specialized workers who maintain the country stoped for 5 years, the degradation of the infrastructure and the loss of unpassed on tribal knowledge would devistate America to a second or third world nation.

Let me explain it to you in a way your naive cityworldly mind can understand. Watch dirty jobs. All of it. Watch it and understand that it is a small amount of the mountain of labour and skill needed to keep you out of the stoneage.

>I simply embrace the absurdity of life
You are caught in a river that will drown you.
What's with everyone thinking the soul is immortal?
You have a finite time to illuminate yourself or you'll return to source and be absorbed.
Never stop pushing yourselves anons.
