Infinite Jest: Difference between revisions

* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: It's never specified, but from some references to characters' ages and the approximate beginning of "Subsidized Time," you can extrapolate that the plot takes place sometime in the first decade of the 21st Century, 10-15 years after the book was published.

** And later a reference to a poster of Limbaugh "from before the assassination" (929).

* [[Whole-Episode Flashback]]
