The following is an excerpt from a paper he wrote once about Hal Incandenza, the protagonist of David Foster Wallace's epic Infinite Jest:

The internet age is a new frontier of dehumanization and fracturing. Social networking creates the illusion of collecting people, collecting friends and subsequently observing their life with relative anonymity. The oddity is that many of these people you have collected are, for most intents and purposes, strangers to you. If you observe the daily minutiae of a person’s life, make judgments (impossible to avoid) and then never truly interact with them are they even real people? Does it make a difference? The only evidence of their existence you have is a virtual page floating in the techno-ether. The result is a sort of generational solipsism, everyone inside themselves, unable to speak to the frustration and lack of purpose that I find evident in many people my age. Hal is, in a sense, an everyman; a portrait of angst growing more complex and desperate as the world rushes by.
