Annie’s Reviews > There Is No Antimemetics Division > Status Update

The first and second halves have very different vibes and content. I'm still really enjoying the book, but I will admit I preferred the first half. The first chapters are basically short stories all set within the same context in which to point is to make you understand what the general situation is through concrete examples instead of grand worldbuilding.

I don’t think you could adapt this book to screen satisfyingly. It’s too abstract.

The way this is told is simply brilliant. Last chapter, there were 200 people in the Antimemetics division. Now there are 140.

In another book this could be a continuity error. In this book though? Something happened. And probably no one even knows it did.

I love how I can trust absolutely no information that is given to me. Everything is suspicious. It’s chilling and mesmerizing.

This is a mix of terrifying, fascinating and exhilarating. Did I mention terrifying? Because it’s terrifying.
