There Is No Antimemetics Division

There's a lot to love about this book. From its heady themes to redactions and inserted reports, it's hard not to get sucked into the Antimemetics Division alongside the characters. The Unknowns are intriguing, unique, and often difficult to grok. The complexity of the Unknowns, the memory manipulation, and the physicality of U-3125 are my kind of science fiction. The reason this read didn't rank higher is because the last quarter of the book is messy and in many ways anticlimactic compared to everything that came before. I was hoping for a crazy, mind-bending finale and got something much less interesting.

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.
