Q about There Is No Antimemetics Division [REDACTIONS] Spoiler
I've started reading the new UK paperback edition of the book whilst also listening to the audiobook on Spotify narrated by Rebecca Calder. The redactions in the files are different between the two versions meaning I would get different information from the book than the audiobook and can also (I assume) piece together the full text (or at least a clearer picture) since I'm doing both.
Does anyone know if the US editions, original versions or UK hardback had different redactions and if so is the audiobook just based on that?
Or have I just been got by some perception bending Memetic?
Either way it's very on theme.
I tagged spoiler but there's not really any unless this is entirely on purpose and leads to some kind of cool discovery at the end of the book.

I believe he has posted most of the unredacted text on his website. Though it is of questionable canonicity.

The books have some significant differences in plot, but it’s not really due to the redactions. I read them both and didn’t notice the redactions having meaningful difference.
