8:23Now PlayingThis video critiques memes. It doesn't aim at judging which memes are based and which are cringe, nor at declaring this or that meme to be dead, but rather at explaining and critiquing the concept of the meme, starting with the original meaning as Richard Dawkins defined it.

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zero Books aims to work against this trend.
