Memes of 2018* No Captions Necessary is a self-published compendium of memes that arose out of my curiosity for the subject as they are both widespread and yet their origins so opaque. This publication seeks to bring clarity to memes through an exploration of each one’s origin, spread, and variations in a uniquely
 hand-bound reading experience.
