NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Humanity is under assault by malevolent “antimemes”—ideas that attack memory, identity, and the fabric of reality itself—in this whip-smart tale of science-fiction horror, an entirely reimagined and expanded version of the beloved online novel.

“Utterly brilliant . . . a dazzling, confusing novel with a highly effective, creeping sense of dread . . . I can’t recommend it enough.”—Charlie Jane Anders, The Washington Post

“[An] unforgettable, mind-bendingly brilliant novel.”—The Guardian

They’re all around us, hiding in plain sight.

One could be in the room with you now, just to your left. You could be seeing it right now—but from this second to the next, you’ll forget that you did. If you managed to jot down a note, the paper would look blank to you afterward.

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

They can turn you into a living ghost—make it so you’re standing next to your spouse, screaming in their ear, and they won’t know you’re there.

They’re predators equipped with the ultimate camouflage, living black holes for information, able to consume our very memories of their existence.

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

But how do you fight an enemy when you can never even know that you’re at war? How do you contain something you can’t record or remember?

Welcome to the Antimemetics Division.

No, this is not your first day.

Extremely good & entertaining sci-fi

This one will stick with you. Amazing concepts. Just get it! I promise you won’t regret it.

UTTERLY UNFORGETTABLE!!!

This is now one of my absolute favorite books. it's weird, heart wrenching, and truly compelling. It plays with concepts that shift how I think about the world and thinking about thinking about the world. I'm getting a hard copy asap!!

Stunning, thought-provoking and beautifully performed.

I haven't tried reading this but the way audio was used became a really important part of the story. this is one of the best books I've read in a long time and delved into ideas that felt fresh, interesting takes on science, as well as good/believable characters. This was a phenomenal read.

There are sound effects used to unsettle and invoke specific elements of the plot. I recognize that a few reviews found them "annoying" but I found it increased my immersion and made the experience more intense. It was a 10/10 usage of technology and the team should be proud of themselves. The narrator was also excellent, already delivered lines clearly with significant emotional range, and had a pleasant voice. Despite some very complicated jargon she pronounced everything superbly (not always true with SF narrators.) Overall, a fantastic performance and story!

I wish I knew this was SCP before

I love SCPs, I was aware this was on that universe, what I didn’t know is that these are well know SCP entries, most of them I already knew and had listened to in podcasts. For those who are not well acquainted with SCP lore I highly recommed, for those who are be aware you probably already know these entries.

Deeply moving and thought-provoking

A brilliant entry into the corpus of cosmic horror and science fiction. Worth proudly shelving alongside VanderMeer, Lovecraft, Stross, and Stolze.
