There Is No Antimemetics Division

The premise of the book is strong and novel, but in my opinion, it wasn’t well executed. There are a few plot holes and abandoned arcs. All the unresolved narratives are likely intended to contribute to the book’s development, but they make it hard to follow, perhaps intentionally. There isn’t much concreteness regarding the “memes” (for instance, is a prehistoric old God that makes you forget how to ride a bike really in the same category as a pillar of spiders with a rider?).

The character development is also subpar; I found it impossible to empathize with any of them. While I enjoyed certain individual passages and sections, I don’t think the book lived up to the potential of its original idea.
