How have people enjoyed the rewrite?
I read the original antimemetic division book a few times, and gifted the book to few friends too (love his other works too:).
I pre ordered the update, but only got a third through. I'm not quite nerdy enough to do a page or sentence comparison, but it felt less "tight" - not sure if the exposition is more prosaic or there's less mystery or just more description that wasn't strictly needed (for me). Or, maybe I just reread the original too recently! Anybody else read both versions? :-).
- piskov 8mo agoI’ve read both the original and paid rewrite. 2025 paid version has more coherent ending (which is nice) and more linear timeline for your average non-technical Joe. Which is probably a good thing. But I enjoyed the freeride first one as well.
- garaetjjte 8mo agoI read both and I think rewrite is much better. Though this is specifically because I didn't like the ghosts in the second half of original.
- NikolaNovak 8mo agoOooh... The deus ex machina has changed?? That'll be interesting to see - thx!
- jpfromlondon 8mo agoI read it in print and thought it was awful, such an interesting idea but explored by a rank amateur, curious to know how different the original creepypasta was. Edit: Oh it's a full rewrite? I had no idea.
- NikolaNovak 8mo agoNote, both versions were available in print, do you know which one you read? :-) And yes, according to author it's a pretty significant rewrite for v2: https://qntm.org/antifaq#sec0 https://qntm.org/antifaq#sec0
- jpfromlondon 8mo agoOriginal for sure, in paperback, which I donated after finishing, looks like it sells for a lot more than I paid for it.
