Book Reviews of Virus of the Mind:: The New Science of the Meme
Book Review: Worthy of your time
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently finished this book and would recommend it to others interested in how language influences behaviors. Sure, there are many themes the book addresses, but my main focus was examining the connections between language manipulation and control of behavior.
Summary of Virus of the Mind:: The New Science of the Meme
If you've ever wondered how and why people become robotically enslaved by advertising, religion, sexual fantasy, and cults, wonder no more. It's all because of "mind viruses," or "memes," and those who understand how to plant them into other's minds. This is the first truly accessible book about memes and how they make the world go 'round.Of course, like all good memes, the ideas in Brodie's book are double-edged swords. They can vaccinate against the effects of cognitive viruses, but could also be used by those seeking power to gain it even more effectively. If you don't want to be left behind in the coevolutionary arms race between infection and protection, read about memes.
