There Is No Antimemetics Division

An exploration of a captivating concept: ideas that actively resist being remembered or understood. The story follows agents fighting entities and concepts that can erase themselves from human consciousness, leading to haunting scenarios where characters must leave notes for their future selves, who will have forgotten everything about their mission — or even their own identity. It resonates even more in our emerging AI era. Also, right after I ordered the paperback, that format was no longer listed on Amazon (no joke).
