 Memes for dummies (3 1/2 stars) May 7, 2006

Please be advised that this book does not take a cold calculated scientific approach at explaining memetics. Richard Brodie explains memes by recounting his personal discovery of memes, futhermore elaborating a fairly modest 'scientific' conclusion. I recommended this book to those merely curious about memetics. If you like 'guru-type' self help books you'll find that this book will suffice is explaining memes while expanding your consciousness. If you are looking for a scientific approach to memetics I would recommend Susan Blackmore's The Meme Machine.

¿Como explicar los cambios en las culturas organizacionales ? Este libro te enseña no solo eso, sino ademas, como esto afecta a nivel social y personal. En Mexico, un meme muy poderoso es "la crisis", el cual dice que "nadie puede progresar porque no hay dinero y no hay dinero porque estamos en crisis". Con la informacion de este libro puedes reconocer este meme y quitartelo de una vez por todas.

First of all I would like to point out that people like to attack the things they don't understand, especially when it threatens to change their world view. Second THIS WAS AN AMAZING BOOK. Reading it as some one not familiar with memes, it was a very good intro lesson. I agree he is not one of the literary masters but there is not use in denying the importance of the subject matter. I went for months without being able to see a TV commercial or radio ad without thinking about this concept. It will either open your eyes or you would condemn Richard Brodie to hell yourself. Very powerfull ideas, although most of the really good ones weren't originally his own. If you don't believe in the concept please read George Orwell's essay: "Politics and the English Language", and "The Selfish Gene". Ignore the other naysayers only defending their narrow world view. If you have an open mind this book is an adventure.

No crap! This book takes everything you have ever learned in your life and puts it in new perspective. It makes you doubt laws of physics and rules of gravity. No, just kidding, but book is pretty profound.
Imagine: that every thought in your head is not your own...and everything you see around yourself is made up by your mind....crazy!

This product was a waste of the obvious. The book is joke. How are you going to teach using the "adventures of eggbert" and making example which are irrelevant to your point? Plus most of it is theory and very opinionated. Very opionated. He himself is infected with the "money" meme. He constantly shamelessly promotes his book "getting past okay". The book was designed for a person with a reading level below average. Unless you like to read inaccurate outdated information don't waste your money. I would suggest to u don't buy this book . Try getting another book. One actually written with someone with a PHD in that department , not by a second rate hack who got removed from micosoft. After all wat does a programmer really know about pyscology compared to a PHD pyscology proffesor like David J. Liberman?
