The Book Count 2026
#25
There is no Antimemetics Division by Qntm

Paranoia is cool. Weirdest alien invasion story ever. Basically the aliens can erase any mention, even your own memories, they exist. The book has a bit of a rough start. It felt more like short stories than a continuous narrative. But the story became more cohesive later on. The author, Qntm, is known for his short stories so it makes sense. There is a strong sense of paranoia throughout the book. How do we fight an enemy we don't even know exists. Better yet how do you describe the mechanics of this impossibility? In a few places the description didn't quite cross the finish line but he came really close.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
