Wall-to-wall WTF this thing dials it up to 11. Every chapter feels like it delivers an epic climax worthy of its own book, the boss fight to end all boss fights, and then just does it again and again. It's unrelenting.
An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties which prevents people from spreading it. Aggressive antimemes can be regarded, written about, drawn or photographed — but absent the actual object they are entirely forgotten, the words rendered hieroglyphic, the images blurred.
Already present everywhere on Earth is an antimeme threat labelled SCP-3125. The Antimemetic researchers in the book note the threat is omniversal-scale, endangering neighbouring realities, encroaching on universes that embed theirs as fiction. But how do you fight against a world-ending cognitohazard that is impossible to remember? That once acknowledged erases the individual and any memory of his or hers existence from reality.
How ironic that a book on antimemes has me thinking about it incessantly, I loved this read.
