Publisher's Summary

Furry fandom is a recent phenomenon, but anthropomorphism is an instinct hard-wired into the human mind: the desire to see animals on a more equal footing with people. It’s existed since the beginning of time in prehistoric cave paintings, ancient gods, and tribal rituals. It lives on today - not just in the sports mascots and cartoon characters we see everywhere, but in stage plays, art galleries, serious literature, performance art, and among furry fans who bring their make-believe characters to life digitally, on paper, or in the carefully crafted fur suits they wear to become the animals of their imagination.

In Furry Nation, author Joe Strike shares the very human story of the people who created furry fandom, the many forms it takes - from the joyfully public to the deeply personal - and how Furry transformed his own life.

ignore most of the other reviews.

this was an overall solid book, i think they may have slid a bit too far into the "otherkin" stuff for my personal liking, but other then those 1-3 chapters, it really wasn't that bad. as well as the book i feel is a bit shallow on the charity, and reasons people are furries, reflecting a bit too much on their own opinion of furries, instead of outward. like, im a furry, but not because similar reasons they explained. im personally one because i use it as an avatar to express myself, to be both reconizable, yet anon. aswell as they only went hair deep into speculation about mental disorders and what not.

as the title says, this is a history of furries, and his part of it. not nessisarly an over incompassing look at furries from a modern day perspecive.

p.s.
the mispronunciations aren't bad at all, i personally only enountered 2 that were wrong, listening intentively. one was they pronounced gryphon "gry•phon" instead of "griph•an" as most do now a days. and another was when they were reffering to the application facerig. instead of saying "face•rig" as most people do, they pronounced it "face r.i.g." but both are quite breif, and offer no huge personal hindrance to me as an experiance.

p.p.s
overall, 7.5/10, dont give to anyone under 18 die to them talking more about the nsfw side of furries.
