Book Review: There Is No Antimemetics Division

I can't remember the last book which gave me literal nightmares. After reading the first few chapters of the book, I fell into an uneasy sleep - troubled with dreams about its impossibility.

"Antimemetics" is one of those frighteningly original sci-fi ideas. Sure, the secret-agency-defends-the-world trope has been played to death, but there is something uniquely mind-bending about objects which remove themselves from your consciousness.

The "enemies" (such as they are) are superficially similar to The Silence from Doctor Who - but much more Lovecraftian in their utter terror.

It does get a little twisty and mind-bending-y, but that's an essential part of the experience.

There is a wealth of background reading available if you want to get into the lore.

Just a stunning book.
