There Is No Antimemetics Division

A blisteringly good, genuinely unnerving novel.

Adam Roberts, The Guardian 'Five of the best science fiction books of 2025'

The coolest, smartest, mind-blowingest novel to be published this year, and probably for many years to come. It is utterly unique, constantly surprising, genuinely unsettling, and a towering work of speculative fiction that may very well take its place among the best sci-fi novels of the century so far.

Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter

Compulsively readable and breathtakingly inventive...this jaw-dropping mind-bender is about as unmissable as sci-fi/fantasy novels get.

Saxon Bullock, SFX

No exaggeration, this is the most imaginative novel I have ever read. It's compulsively readable and exquisitely mind-blowing from the first paragraph to the last. I enjoyed every word. Highest possible recommendation.

Scott Hawkins, author of The Library at Mount Char

An addictive, dizzying experience that will make you feel like your brain has been pulled apart and reassembled by a mad scientist. What would be considered a mind-bending twist in another novel happens on every other page of There Is No Antimemetics Division. I've never read anything like it, unless I did and just forgot.

Jason Pargin, New York Times Bestselling author of John Dies at the End

An instant classic of the genre, fusing the bureaucratic sci-fi of Philip K. Dick, the cosmic horror of Lovecraft, and the poetic prose of Emily St. John Mandel. There Is No Antimemetics Division is packed with ideas so potent it feels like one of the story’s own anomalies—I had vivid dreams, my brain unable to put it down even when I was ready to. Blisteringly intelligent, profoundly unsettling, and totally unforgettable. I finished it days ago, and I’m still not done with it.

Thomas R. Weaver, author of Artificial Wisdom

Unforgettable, mind-bendingly brilliant

Lisa Tuttle, The Guardian

A hugely entertaining, super smart, witty novel that is also nerve-shreddingly terrifying… a timely book that is also one for the ages.

Antonia Hodgson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Raven Scholar

A stone cold cosmic horror classic about a department trying to combat anomalous beings whose very nature makes them impossible to see or remember encountering. An incredible read.

Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time and Service Model
