ABOUT THE BOOK
An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties: an idea which, by its very nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it. Antimemes are real. Think of any piece of information you would never share with anybody – passwords, taboos, dirty secrets – or that is hard to share even if you try: complex equations, very boring passages of text, dreams.
But anomalous antimemes are another matter entirely. How do you contain something you can’t record or remember? How do you fight a war against an enemy with 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.
