Publisher Description
Amygdala is a story of animals, born to a world of swirling, fractal chaos, who learned the art of civilization. Their government was forged in fire, ruled only by the objective truth of all things, with no room for incompetence, mercy, or even morality. Their city, 'The Underbirth', holds within it the greatest collection of animal minds, born of mechanical systems designed to test everything: natural, cultural, industrial selection. Their art is beguiling, their science boundless, their bodies strong and lean and perfect.
And yet, amidst the beauty of a culture ruled by absolute competence, some begin to ask: what is the cost of civilization? When do animals stop being animals? Is there another way?
-Illustrated by Sam Fennah & Carmen K. Jones

Amazing breathtaking
I have read this book 3 times and I love it more and more every time… I first saw Sam’s content when Satilight City was first releasing a pessimistic joke it was. But it saved me at my lowest of times characters like Lucy, Hyzen, and shuck now dalton. Have into a world all there own. And this book as done the same for me and others. So much depth thought I don’t very much care for the elaborate bows of imagery it doesn’t lessen my love for this book. The second version has added so much from the first that was so needed. My favorite characters were methusa locket and Celia (I ship methusa and locket) Celia is so cool and she and her mental illness was written beautifully.
Wonderful
I found this narrative so compelling and the background so imaginative that my curiosity only grew with each cutoff to one plot line and return to the previous. It gave me a better sense of the chronological order of events and I found it exciting to hypothesize how different characters would behave or react to each other.
Absolutely breathtaking.
I read through this too quickly because now I crave more of this new world and these amazing creatures. I’ve been a fan for the past 6 years and seeing how far the old crew of Satellite City has come always brings joy to my heart. Thank you for this creation, Sam Fennah ❤️
