In There Is No Antimemetics Division, did you enjoy ...

... the mind-bending questions about memory, perception, and the nature of reality?

Blindsight by Peter Watts

If you loved how There Is No Antimemetics Division played with the limits of what can be known or remembered, you'll be engrossed by Blindsight. The novel follows a crew tasked with making first contact with an alien intelligence that operates so far outside human comprehension that it challenges the boundaries of consciousness itself. The protagonist, Siri Keeton, is uniquely suited to this investigation but is himself neurologically altered, making the perspective both unreliable and deeply philosophical. Prepare for a cerebral, unsettling exploration of what it means to know anything at all.

... the intricate, reality-bending structure and unreliable storytelling?

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

If you enjoyed the way There Is No Antimemetics Division twisted narrative expectations and played with what can or can't be recorded, House of Leaves will fascinate you. The story layers found documents, footnotes, and shifting narrators to unravel a mystery about a house that is impossibly larger on the inside than the outside. The book itself becomes an artifact of unreliable narration—sometimes even the format and typography conspire against the reader, echoing the elusive and untrustworthy reality you loved.

... the combination of unexpected plot twists and reality-altering threats?

The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway

Much like the creeping, incomprehensible dangers in There Is No Antimemetics Division, The Gone-Away World throws you into a world where the very fabric of existence can be changed—and you never quite know what's coming next. The novel is packed with jaw-dropping reveals, sudden narrative shifts, and existential threats that keep you guessing, all wrapped in darkly comic prose.

... the multi-layered plot and intellectual puzzles hidden within the narrative?

Anathem by Neal Stephenson

If you were captivated by the intricate plotting and puzzle-like mysteries in There Is No Antimemetics Division, Anathem offers a similar intellectual thrill. The story follows Fraa Erasmas as he uncovers secrets about his cloistered world, with multiple layers of history, philosophy, and science interwoven into the plot. There's a constant sense of discovery and hidden connections, rewarding your attention to detail.

... the dark, surreal atmosphere and morally ambiguous characters?

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

Fans of the morally gray operatives and the chilling, mind-bending tone of There Is No Antimemetics Division will be spellbound by The Library at Mount Char. Carolyn and her fellow librarians inhabit a world of brutal, surreal magic and impossible knowledge. Every character is haunted by questionable motives and ethical ambiguity, and the story’s darkly comic voice keeps you simultaneously disturbed and fascinated.
