The Ignorance of Faith (2012)
His book, The Ignorance of Faith, was published in 2012 under his Galician name, Xoán Xuna, in five languages at once. He brought it out through his own imprint, Editorial Hispana Xuna y Socios (EHXS), with printing by ECKO House Publishing. He kept the ISBN registration as an independent publisher and signed no exclusive contract.
The Spanish edition's cover carries the subtitle “Física moderna aplicada a metafísica y religión” (modern physics applied to metaphysics and religion). He called it a treatise, and his EHXS.com site carried the motto “Enhancing Humanism (Xuna's Secularism)” / “Mejorando la humanidad: secularismo (laicismo) de Xuna.” In a 2012 note to Spanish-speaking readers he called it the kind of book physicist Paul Dirac had asked his fellow Nobel laureates to write: a book to provoke discussion and bring public sanity (cordura) to our societies.

By 2015, his timeline notes, a Hindi edition was ready and needed only proofreading, and he planned Arabic, Russian and Chinese editions. As he advised readers, “you just can type XUNA, it is an uncommon last name, and all public versions of the book will show up.”
