An antimeme is an entity with self-censoring properties. Some are benign; but others, less so…

These entities can feed on your most cherished memories, the things that make you you – and you’ll never even know anything changed.

And they aren’t just feeding on us. They’re invading.

But how do you contain something you can't record or remember? How do you fight against an enemy with effortless, perfect camouflage, when you can never even know that you're at war?

Welcome to the Antimemetics Division. No, this is not your first day.

Impressive weirdness

5 žvaigždutės

This is an idea-driven novel, but unlike other's I've read, the voice stays consistent throughout. There is most certainly weirdness, and it stays solidly weird until the end.

Another thrilling thing is that there isn't really any horror, but the implications of the ideas presented are terrifying. It's like you supply the horror to yourself. Which fits perfectly with the themes of memory and belief.

It's impressive; creepy and inventive.

Fun thinking book which kind of got off the rails in a good way

4 žvaigždutės

I quite enjoyed this book, and I'm taking a star off for something that isn't really the book's fault, just my taste. It got a bit more horror than I expected and liked, I more enjoyed the mind bending fun thought experiments of the different SCPs a lot more, it followed kind of a broken up story style that fit very well to the story told, and while it got pretty out there in the last 4th I ended up liking it quite a lot.

Good, but too much in one go

4 žvaigždutės

I should have read this slower, the book is fine. SCP lit in long form, done well. All creatures that cause you to forget them, or other things. It starts as short stories, and then the links start appearing.

Uses some Memento backwards story telling to keep the audience in the right mind frame. Too bleak for me by the end.
