There Is No Antimemetics Division (2018)

where is the community of people who read books like this other than HN?

I was reading this a few months ago but put it down because the language and characters clunky but I will definitely revisit it after this thread as the ideas are apparently worth it.

Mostly reddit, twitter, discord, mastodon.

There are plenty of bookclubs that read similar books too. Just pick a platform and search.

reddit's printsf subreddit is the best place to discuss sci fi and fantasy imho. Low spam rate, good, in-depth discussion, and obscure recommendations from people who genuinely love the genre and aren't judgy about it.

Qntm themself used to post a bunch on everything2

https://everything2.com/

Also stuff like star destroyer

https://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewforum.php?f=54

Or the sietch

https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?forums/creative-writing...

Or many reddit communities like

https://old.reddit.com/r/HFY/

r/rational

Best I know of is /r/rational which focuses on rationalist writing, like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Worm, Ra (also by qntm), and a million other things.

As for meatspace, if you have a local LessWrong / rationalist adjacent meetup, those are usually full of people who read stuff like this.

There's also https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/

I'd generally describe the story as having great concepts and okay writing. It's worth working through the writing to get to the concepts in my opinion.
