In older THS books, computers/shells/etc. are described as outright not caring about surge attacks. In newer books, you notice that they are described as merely a bit more resistant than older tech, and even that only for military models:

Toxic Memes describes mechanics for memetics that are at least useful (though they seem to have a hard time competing with TL8 presidental elections with heavy TL8 propaganda); then a Pyramid article came out which made memetic campaigns barely able to make someone willing to make a modest monetary contribution to a cause.
