I read this book because I misunderstood a recommendation and thought it was a business book talking about how companies get people to forget negative information (e.g. dump news on Friday etc). Boy was that first chapter a wild ride until I figured out it was not in fact a business book

Fun story, strong recommend

    I wouldn't be surprised if there's an SCP that's about businesses using antimemetic anomalies to bury bad news. Hell, there's an SCP about a bank that makes deals with devils at industrial scale.

    Ooh, thanks for saying this! I’ll look out for it.

    Their collection “humans in transit” is real good.

      It's a rework of the old SCP story, I asked him what changed and he said "too much to mention".

      I read the original online so I'm looking forward to pay for a book just to give back. Agreed on hist short stories too!

I get the ref, but... these days, aren't antim*i*metics more of a thing? (& less of a fun fiction?)

To be more concrete:

such technology either already exists now, or has a better shot at preventing stale & shallow (human) takes from hoarding the frontpage.

The U.S. Army was secretly developing antimemetic weaponry as early as the 1940s.
