Its nice to call out a SCP that isn't cringe self-insert material.

Ah yes, the wonderful world of SCPs. When I first discovered the subreddit[0] I read through a ton of them. Some are very well written and the whole universe is very interesting. Would recommend to anyone interested in sci-fi. 0. https://old.reddit.com/r/scp

The Antimemetics Division stories are very well written, and make for some great reading. http://www.scpwiki.com/antimemetics-division-hub Imagine fighting something that actively eats any knowledge about itself and anything you know about it, including yourself.

Loved this series. IMO many scp hubs/stories are low-quality or have unsavory themes. This series avoids the worst of that and tackles a difficult problem in a thoughtful way.

Weaponizing this would be fantastic for use in ransomware.

You can now buy it as an e-book or paperback from the original author: https://qntm.org/scp

If you like this, you should also consider reading qntm's other work -- I thought `Ra` and `Fine Structure` were particularly good:

Reminds me of the Chandrian. Haliax is afterall a shadowy figure that is obsessed with keeping themselves secret without any clear goals.
