Infinite Jest? Of course, the first chapter is about one kid's final inability to communicate.

  The whole book is about the search for an entertainment disc so addicting anyone who watches it winds up so enraptured by it that they consume it endlessly until they wind up dying. Sounds a bit like a less intensive phone/social media addiction if I've ever heard of one.

    It also has a whole chapter about anxiety-inducing video chat calls that predicts the Snapchat and TikTok filter generation of video call technology.

    You know, I love that book, but I completely forgot about the actual plot.
