I just finished David Forrest Wallace's Infinite Jest and was surprised that is was sci-fi. DFW was such a literary golden boy, i think people don't mention that IJ was a sci-fi book to avoid belittling him. total crap, if you ask me.

There are sci-fi elements in IJ for sure. I just think IJ is too broad in scope to label it sci-fi though.
