Often Abbreviated posted:Does anyone have any theories about this? Is Hal actually deficient in any way beyond being a bit cerebral and a weed addict? Does the fungus have anything to do with anything? Did he take the DMZ somehow or is he just going through some kind of extended psychosomatic rebellion that he was previously suppressing with cannabis? Are ghosts real? It's been a long time since I've read the book and I don't really have a better theory than Aaron Swartz's but I'd say the long section where the ghost of James appears to Gately is confirmation that ghosts exist and can at least communicate with people. That's different from them being able to actually interact with objects, of course. As I recall, the only suggestions of that are all the weird stuff that happens to Stice but nothing is confirmed. Also, Infinite Jest obviously borrows a lot from Hamlet and I think the ghost there only ever talks to people.

For me it took about 300 pages (up to the Eschaton game, I believe). After that it picked up really fast
