A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Nooooo! 😭 I so badly wanted this to be real. I had even looked it up by ISBN to try and order it. The ISBN is for a book titled Brute Orbit, if anybody is curious.
It reminded me of a strange book I read when I was young, an 80s sci-fi I think was called "the wizard of sunset strip"
I'd have absolutely believed this could have been a book by them

No but William Gibson does have a bunch of near future novels that i recommend
I think with ChatGPT and Tinder getting in bed together recently as well as advertisers creating their own AI influencers, the book Idoru is probably a pretty decent read for anyone who wants to give him a try
