"Published in 1996, the novel has achieved cult status for its intellectual rigor, linguistic inventiveness, and its exploration of complex themes ranging from addiction to the pursuit of happiness. At its core, "Infinite Jest" revolves around the Incandenza family, particularly Hal Incandenza, a tennis prodigy, and his father James Incandenza, the founder of the Incandenza Tennis Academy. The novel is set in an alternate reality where the United States, Canada, and Mexico have merged into the Organization of North American Nations (O.N.A.N.), and the story unfolds at the intersection of various interconnected plotlines and a host of eccentric characters."
