The Meme Book is a funny coffee table book, a way to share your favorite memes with your technophobe grandma, or a comment on the times. It can be all or none of these things. This collection of memes pulled from the Internet and framed in the book is funny and fun. The purpose of this volume is simply to curate some of the funniest memes and to raise a discussion about this new form of art. Is it really new? If so, what is novel about it compared to other editorial forms of art? How can we approach this sociologically? What can this collection of provocative memes show us about the future, and about the present? What does this curation add to existing conversations about art? How can memes exist as fingers on the pulse of today's youth? Will these memes stand in the long-term as examples of twenty-first century culture, or will this volume stand as the only evidence that they ever existed?
