Description in English: In 1987, the famous report of the UN World Commission on Environment and Development entitled "Our Common Future" was published, proposing sustainable development as the solution to the economic, social, and environmental crises of humanity. Supported by techno-scientific knowledge, this new idea of development has been implemented for three decades on a planetary scale, attempting to halt the apocalypse confirmed with the discovery of the Anthropocene and achieve the long-awaited idyll of planetary eco-topia. With sections that evoke a postcyberpunk story, the authors invite us to think outside the box, go beyond or, on the contrary, turn back, question, reveal what is hidden, relativize, provincialize, and green sustainability and sustainable development. For this, the authors position themselves from an anthropology of modernity, initially focusing on understanding how moderns and anthropology, as part of their cosmology, construct nature (environment), in opposition to culture, and from there offer a perspective that understands sustainable development as a techno-scientific device that orders the world, generating colonial and governmental processes that are not exempt from being transformed from within by their own subjects, generating other options and not a single common world.
