Humans are extraordinary creatures, with the unique ability among animals to imitate and so copy from one another ideas, habits, skills, behaviours, inventions, songs, and stories. These are all memes, a term first coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene. Memes, like genes, are replicators, and this enthralling book is an investigation of whether this link between genes and memes can lead to important discoveries about the nature of the inner self. Confronting the deepest questions about our inner selves, with all our emotions, memories, beliefs, and decisions, Susan Blackmore makes a compelling case for the theory that the inner self is merely an illusion created by the memes for the sake of replication.

你的皮肤比别人光滑,那是因为你每次洗完澡后都会抹护肤霜,而这个习惯是你男友传给你的,他的习惯来源于十年前他的那个前女友,而在你和你男友分手后你还将继续把这个习惯传给你的下一个男友。这就是meme. #爱情是短暂的,meme是永恒的#
