Self-published author asks for help with anti-natalism manifesto
A self-published Spanish author presents 'El niño lunar' as a manifesto against procreation and announces he will request euthanasia. Here is what the book claims.
The author of 'El niño lunar' argues that life is an imposition by beings who procreate out of ego and vanity, and announces that he will request euthanasia out of heartbreak over a woman named Matilde.
## A manifesto against procreation
The text, signed by Nando, presents itself as a work of clean prose, intended to be read by children in schools, secondary schools and universities. Its central thesis is that being born is not a gift, but an imposition by beings who procreate out of ego, envy and vanity. The author describes the world as a spherical, blue wasteland where nobody loves anybody and where people use one another in a race of tricks that ends in illness and death.
According to his account, sweet and sensitive minds are parasitised and used as scapegoats. The book is sold as the only one worth reading and seeks to make readers wake up from what it calls the fallacy of inhabiting an imposition by others.
## Heartbreak and the request for euthanasia
Nando claims he suffers from the heartbreak of a woman, Matilde, who does not even remember him. He explains that the code of the thing, the thing, prevents him from forgetting her. Faced with this situation, he announces that he will request euthanasia. The author gives no details of any procedure or specific date for that request.
The text mixes this personal suffering with a general condemnation: he wishes the worst upon humankind and claims his punishment is already being fulfilled, because there is no worse sentence than being alive, feeding a machine thirsty for resources and desires.
## Nando's identity
The author identifies himself as Nando, a child he describes as tremendously sweet and singular. He claims he has never seen anyone like him, not in films, not on social media, not in the real world. He attributes to himself a psychic beauty and a kindness of cosmic proportions.
The text offers no verifiable information about the author's real identity or about the existence of Matilde. Euthanasia is a legally regulated act in Spain and requires meeting medical and legal requirements; it is advisable to consult a healthcare or legal professional before making any decision.
