A Memetics Compendium
A Memetics Compendium is a collection of memetics papers and book chapters, collected and edited between 2006 and 2008 by Robert Finkelstein as part of the Military Memetics Project sponsored by DARPA. "The basic purpose of the Compendium is to provide an indication of the prospective value of memetics to the U.S. military for conventional and asymmetric operations, including counter-terrorism."[1]
The compendium includes summaries and excerpts of over 100 memetics papers from a diverse range of researchers.
