At its core, Limitless serves as a modern Faustian tale. Before the drug, Eddie is the embodiment of stagnation: he is unable to write his book, has been dumped by his girlfriend, and is falling behind on rent. The immediate transformation brought by NZT—enhanced memory, rapid language acquisition, and a superhuman ability to synthesize complex data—taps into a deep-seated cultural preoccupation with work and productivity . For the audience, the "limitless" version of Eddie represents the ultimate idealized self, capable of conquering any obstacle with sheer cognitive force.
