Amygdalatropolis is a work of brilliant neurorealism in which the city is a Computer, a libidinal pornutopia voided of all bedeutung other than the residual, electronic prickling of sexual fear and auto-autistic aggression where software and synapse flicker in an endless algorithmic loop. Norburt Wiener's apocalyptic steersman leads directly here: a psychopathological cyberutopia heading straight into the lake of fire.

Yeager's haphephobic protagonist /1404er/ has got over reality, family or the social and moved on - to a somewhat more tenable amnion of snuff porn, clickbait and casual online scapegoating. Amygdalatropolis inhabits our post-truth heterotopia like some virulent new literary life form, perfectly tooled for the death of worlds.

Has anyone else seen the TikTok that warns everyone about reading Amygdalatropolis by B. R. Yeager and Edia Connole? If you have seen the TikTok, does it make you want to read it more? Or am I alone on this?

@default_friend Amygdalatropolis by BR Yeager for specifically digital ugliness + isolation. One of the only novels I’ve read that accurately captures the spirit and “condition” of anon imgboards/addicts. Appropriately stylistically experimental + has a very good prefatory essay by Edia Connole

@RussellJaffeETC @JohannesGoranss B.R. Yeager's AMYGDALATROPOLIS is similarly visceral and existential, really unforgettable and upsetting in a great way. Ditto NEGATIVE SPACE, which I liked even more, is similar. Recommend.
