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.

I loved every moment of this. You can kind of tell that it started life as a web series on a wiki if you squint a bit — but it’s every bit as gripping, mind-bending, moving, and downright fun as people say. (I guess I didn’t know going in that it would be fun? But it is.) I want more.
A fun and short SF book that takes an idea, toys with it some, and then wraps it up without going on too long.
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.
Got me hooked from the very first page.
