On that account I would recommend The Selfish Meme: A critical reassessment if you are at all interested in contemporary extensions of meme theory.

Thanks, I've had my eye on that book for a while. Will do.

Her later work on Cultural Evolution has a bit of a twist. In it she rejects the term 'meme' in favor of the title, partly due to the mass adaption of the term between her writing. She's an independent scholar, and clearly well respected enough to be published with Cambridge.
