I just finished There Is No Antimemetics Division by Sam Hughes. The version of the novel I read was the recent print publication. This story comes out of the SCP Wiki, where it was originally serialized a few years ago. This is a Philip K. Dick-level mindscrew. I mean that as be best possible compliment. It’s going to linger with me awhile. It’s definitely a kind of horror, cosmic-adjascent, that feels almost Lovecraftian at times. It deals mostly with memory and memes, in the original sense of ideas that spread, not funny images to share on the net. I can’t say much about it without spoilers. It’s definitely riffing on X-Files, Fringe, Delta Green, Over the Edge, Conspiracy X, and others. Really good book. I’d be surprised if this didn’t win some awards.
