Mind-bending science fiction about antimemes- ideas that attack memory, identity, and the fabric of reality itself. An antimeme is an entity with self-censoring properties. Some are benign; but others, less so... 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.
Astonishing. Pitch-perfect cosmic horror and the pitch will break all the glass in your brain. * M.R. Carey, author of Infinity Gate *
The coolest, smartest, mind-blowingest novel to be published this year, and probably for many years to come. It is utterly unique, constantly surprising, genuinely unsettling, and a towering work of speculative fiction that may very well take its place among the best sci-fi novels of the century so far. * Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter *
An addictive, dizzying experience that will make you feel like your brain has been pulled apart and reassembled by a mad scientist. What would be considered a mind-bending twist in another novel happens on every other page of There Is No Antimemetics Division. I've never read anything like it, unless I did and just forgot. * Jason Pargin, New York Times Bestselling author of John Dies at the End *
No exaggeration, this is the most imaginative novel I have ever read. It's compulsively readable and exquisitely mind-blowing from the first paragraph to the last. I enjoyed every word. Highest possible recommendation. * Scott Hawkins, author of The Library at Mount Char *
