gollark: qntm (writer of Ra and Fine Structure which are pretty good too)'s Antimemetics Division is an SCP Foundation thing dealing with "antimemes". The page conveniently describes an antimeme as "an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it". Probably not for you if you don't really like the SCP horror-ish stuff, but good if you're into that.http://www.scp-wiki.net/antimemetics-division-hub
gollark: I imagine lots of people here will have already read (some of) them, but the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett is very good. Fantasy, though, not sci-fi.
gollark: You can't connect through your phone or something? I would never be left without internet connectivity, so I would.
gollark: Particularly with the new Apiaristics Division stuff. We have a one-way hallway now.
gollark: All are to.
