Ponsamaro by Adrien Tardif
Born from a vision of freedom, harmony and responsibility, Ponsamaro is both a utopian narrative and a space for co-constructing our futures. Ponsamaro takes the form of an ecological anticipation novel and a futurist workshop for inspiration and taking action.
2050, years after the dissolution of the French State… Haunted by recurring nightmares that remind him of the disappearance of his son, Frédéric returns to his hometown.
He thinks that studying his child’s diary in a familiar environment will help calm his nights. But the city has changed a great deal during his gilded retirement.
Built on principles of trust and mutual aid in a difficult ecological context, Ponsamaro’s motto is now “Freedom, Harmony, Responsibility.”
For this reason, and many others, he is absolutely determined to conceal his true identity: this former man of power wishes to remain in the shadows.
However, encounters with a magician with fairy fingers, a healer skilled in shamanic experiences, and a mysterious storyteller thwart his intentions.
Will Frédéric manage to understand the social codes governing the city and find his place within this culture, even if it means questioning his own convictions?
Halfway between a psychological thriller and an initiatory tale, Ponsamaro invites us to question our beliefs and our vision of the world, while delivering a message of hope.
Ponsamaro is a subjective experience: live with the narrator their sensations, their emotions, their thoughts… This book came about after a narrative-universe creation workshop at the “école des vivants,” an organization launched by science-fiction author Alain Damasio. A companion piece allows you to meet him.
Faced with social and ecological challenges, the novel illustrates tools for taking action at an individual and collective scale. By exploring the hypothesis of major systemic collapses, Ponsamaro invites us to step aside from our current model of society, while maintaining a critical eye on the available alternatives.
