One of my favourite reads for sure - I've been looking for similar reads since.

I enjoyed "the raw shark texts" after hearing it recommended - curious if you / anyone else has any other suggestions!

This is very "distant" suggestion if you enjoyed Antimemetics, but The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro is another one of my favourites, and it too explores this idea of unreliable and inconsistent memories, although from a completely different angle.

I consider Recursion by Blake Crouch to be similar, even though I liked Antimemetics much better. I haven't read Crouch's other books, but have heard that Dark Matter is better than Recursion, though it may be less similar to Antimemetics.

I really liked Upgrade as well, fun listen.

I've enjoyed Peter Watts in kind of similar way I enjoy qntm. It's nerdy, explores interesting ideas, and written by a professional in a field who draws on their education, skills and interests. Premier work is probably Blindsight but the Sunflower cycle stories are likely easier to start. Like qntm, a lot of his works are online for free:

Library at Mount Char, Southern Reach trilogy (Annihilation/Authority/Acceptance), Laundry Files (kinda).

Definitely looking for other reqs, raw shark texts look very interesting.

I've enjoyed most of Isaac Asimov's work, especially The Last Question.

I also liked a couple stories from Ted Chiang's Stories of Your Life and Others.

Perhaps Permutation City by Greg Egan though I didn't finish the book.

I've heard Accelerando by Stross is good too.

Try Dissolution by Nick Binge. Same weird vibes.
