Dave Eggers's Infinite Jest foreword

Dave Eggers's foreword for the tenth anniversary edition of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. His words ring true, but I wonder if the foreword should have targeted an older audience rather than already converted twentysomethings.

Maybe the target is NEW twenty-somethings?

Stupid Eggers, making sense like that. Now I want to try reading IJ again.

I actually pre-ordered this a while ago as I lost my copy several moves ago and saw that it was available for cheap on Amazon.
