A book is just a long meme on paper rather than a screen. Like memes, they tend to follow formats (in literary studies, genres) such as a science fiction novel, epic poem or modernist day-in-the-life experimental piece. Literature by authors like Lovecraft, Fitzgerald and Kafka addresses the social concerns of its time and the conflicts that people face as they make decisions about who they are and how they’d wish to live. Now, that might be a tall order for lots of memes, but not all books are literature, just as not all memes are literary. Here are a few literary memes, however.
