7 / 5 Stars

One of the greatest books of the 21st century. A phenomenon. The world of ideas and anti-ideas. How ideas can create the world, and how the opposite would do such damage.

Can you control the damage of an anti-meme? How would you control it? Where would you keep it? How could you communicate its existence without revealing the idea inherent within it?

And how do you save the world?

There is no anti-memetics division, and if there is, we are all in trouble.

A worthy winner of the Arthur C. Clarke award.

I will read the sequel.
