Very interesting novel...brilliant stream-of-consciousness style that reminded me much of Joyce... While reading it I sorted the tech he described in his own invented terms and compared them to what's available now... there are many parallels... I recommend reading it... If you need priming listen to his 2013 commencement speech--This is Water--delivered at Kenyon College... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMI

The speech was delivered in 2005, and published as a book in 2009. Also, David Foster Wallace committed suicide in 2008.
