About this series
"SCP Foundation" is a large collaborative-fiction wiki project — thousands of short "SCP" entries written by many different, largely anonymous contributors — not an authored book series with a numbered reading order. The one work catalogued here, qntm's "There Is No Antimemetics Division," began as a serial on the SCP wiki (2015-2020) before qntm compiled it into a self-published novel. A substantially revised edition, with the third act reworked and its SCP Foundation references removed, was published by Ballantine Books (US) and Del Rey (UK) in November 2025 and was shortlisted for the 2026 Arthur C. Clarke Award. In its published form the novel stands alone rather than continuing a numbered series, so no position, total book count or completion status is asserted here.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to read the SCP Foundation series?
The SCP Foundation series does not have a strict chronological reading order; entries are largely standalone and can be explored in any sequence that piques your interest. Many readers enjoy diving into entries based on their SCP number or by exploring curated lists and tales that connect various anomalies.
Are there any official adaptations of the SCP Foundation series?
The SCP Foundation is a collaborative, community-driven project, and while there are numerous fan-made short films, games, and audio dramas, there is no single official film or TV series adaptation. Its open-source nature encourages diverse creative interpretations across various media.
How does the SCP Foundation series expand beyond the main entries?
Beyond the core SCP entries, the universe is significantly expanded through 'Tales,' which are short stories, novellas, and even longer narratives written by the community. These tales explore the lives of Foundation personnel, the origins of anomalies, and the broader implications of the Foundation's work, often connecting multiple SCPs.
Is the SCP Foundation connected to other fictional universes?
The SCP Foundation is a self-contained fictional universe, though its collaborative nature means that some authors may draw inspiration from or subtly reference other works. However, there are no official crossovers or direct connections to other established fictional series.
