There is no Antimemetic Division by Qntm

The forever question: is it worth it to sacrifice our safety for knowledge? Commodity for discovery?

I'm going to try and put my feelings and thoughts into words, but it's very hard when it comes to such an abstract book. Wow. Just wow. It's as if it takes your brain from your head and twists it and squeezes it till you no longer grasp reality. Honestly, yeah, the best thing you can do when reading this is forget about reality, conventions and rules. Just flow. Allow yourself to look around as you float in the stream of consciousness; don't try to swim at the rhythm of the water.

It's as if Severance had a baby with Arrival, for me. It has you guessing, analysing, and the best of all, imagining and theorising your own ideas. How to beat up an idea with another idea. A battle of ideas. Wow. Plato would be proud of this book.

I felt proud, frustrated and dumbfounded by Quinn. Both Quinn. Iykyk.

If you love weird, mind-twisting sci-fi, don't walk, run to get this.
