There Is No Antimemetics Division

How it reads

There Is No Antimemetics Division is science fiction (cosmic science fiction, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in an invented world, in the future, told in the first person by a single narrator. Its central concerns are survival, identity and power and politics. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 220 pages it's a quick read. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
