Ya están aquí. En los consejos de administración de las empresas, en los ministerios y oficinas gubernamentales, en los centros de enseñanza e investigación, en los medios de comunicación masivos, en las redes sociales... Parecen humanos normales a simple vista, pero son alienigenas venidos del espacio exterior. Los reconoceras por su conviccion profunda de que no somos seres de esta Tierra, sino masters del universo; que nuestro destino esta en la conquista y explotacion del sistema solar primero y de las estrellas mas lejanas despues; y que en nuestro planeta estan solo de paso, y pueden por consiguiente tratarlo como un objeto desechable, una biosfera de usar y tirar. Gente que no quiere viajar a Marte argumenta que uno no puede ser un productivista consecuente si no esta dispuesto a tratar la Tierra como un planeta desechable, para emprender a continuacion la fuga al cosmos. Y que esta tentacion de fuga se inscribe en un movimiento antropofugo mas amplio y complejo, un movimiento de huida de la condicion humana que debemos tomar muy en serio, y contra el que hemos de resistir. No podemos seguir manteniendo la mentalidad del cowboy (llegar, explotar, marchar) en un mundo lleno, donde ya se ha llegado a la frontera. Lo anterior vale tambien para vaqueros interplanetarios. H

Criado en la Reserva Biológica de Doñana, último vestigio de una forma de vida en peligro de extinción, Noé Garrido nos ofrece una honesta y apasionada llamada a despertar y retornar a nuestro territorio con profundidad, amor y libertad. En un mundo donde la desconexion con la naturaleza amenaza nuestra propia existencia, El Libro de Noe emerge como un testimonio necesario y en plena sincronia con otros grandes manifiestos de nuestro tiempo que reclaman una vuelta a la naturaleza y a la recuperacion de una "mente salvaje", como plantea David Hinton en su obra Mente salvaje, tierra salvaje (Cantico, 2024).El libro narra la historia real de Noe, criado en una casa aislada en el corazon del Parque Nacional de Doñana entre el lince, un buitre leonado, acuarios y terrarios o un zorro como mascota, y que al rayar la adolescencia y leer el Zaratustra de Nietzsche decide que el sino de su vida sera escribir un libro con el que cambiar el mundo. El camino sera largo y lleno de peripecias y desembocara en vivir en una choza solitaria en la montaña construida por el para escribir el libro. Pero este camino descubrira cosas sorprendentes que lo haran replantearse los cimientos de su ser y de su mundo.Desde las marismas de Doñana hasta una austera choza en la sierra de Aracena, esta obra recoge el testimonio personal de uno de los ultimos niños que crecio entre manadas de ciervos y familias de jabalies con una poderosa reflexion sobre nuestra relacion con la naturaleza y el sentido de la existencia humana.A traves de sus paginas descubrimos como la vida salvaje puede ser maestra de sabiduria, como la soledad puede convertirse en plenitud y como es posible construir una vida con sentido alejada del frenesi del consumismo. El autor nos demuestra que otra forma de vida no solo es posible, sino necesaria.El Libro de Noe es una obra unica que trasciende generos: es memoria y manifiesto, es filosofia y poesia, es denuncia y esperanza. Una voz original y necesaria que nos recuerda que el futuro de la humanidad pasa por reconectar con nuestras raices mas salvajes.
