Yep, that is exactly it. Infinite Jest is a look into the sick self-doubting mindset that has infected the US(and other parts of the world). I read while I was severely over-weight and 'depressed' and it was extremely validating to see the mindset so accurately reflected. I've never had a book where I can't read it without stopping if desired before(unless it's purely technical). I couldn't get through more than 50pages/sitting for Infinite Jest. It was pretty good.
