BESTSELLER - Award winning author Ash Wilder tells the extraordinary true story of the very last of the ‘lost tribes’. Deep in the Amazon. Off-limits islands. Civilizations untouched by the modern world. This is what’s left of the unknown. There are still places on Earth where outsiders aren’t welcome — and where contact can mean death. From the deadly shores of North Sentinel Island to the uncharted jungles of the Western Amazon , this book explores the world’s most remote, uncontacted tribes — people who’ve lived off the grid for thousands of years and still do. Based on real-world data, explorer reports, satellite images, and government records, this book pulls together the facts, theories, and secrets behind the last places on Earth untouched by globalization. No myths, no fluff — just raw accounts of what’s still out there, and why we’re not supposed to see it. For readers into lost civilizations , forbidden travel , tribal survival , and the truth behind the world’s hidden corners , Uncontacted Tribes delivers a straight-up look into the places most people will never get close to. --- Reviews --- "A raw, riveting account of the last people living beyond the edges of civilization." – ING "Terrifying, Stark, and fascinating — the best book I’ve read this year." – Future Statesmen "Wilder walks a tightrope between danger and awe, always asking the right questions." – The Statesman "Ash Wilder takes readers where maps end and questions begin." – Outside Magazine "Equal parts survival story, geopolitical insight, and eerie dispatch from the world’s most off-limits places." – Economist "Brings the reader dangerously close to the unknowable." – Geographic Traveller "Wilder’s detail is sharp, his tone unflinching.
