Description
Buckminster Fuller (18951983) was an architect, engineer, geometrician, cartographer, philosopher, futurist, inventor of the famous geodesic dome and one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time. For more than five decades, he set forth his comprehensive perspective on the worlds problems in numerous essays, which offer an illuminating insight into the intellectual universe of this renaissance man. These texts remain surprisingly topical even today, decades after their initial publication.
Initially published in 1969, and one of Fullers most popular works, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth is a brilliant synthesis of his world view. In this very accessible volume, Fuller investigates the great challenges facing humanity, and the principles for avoiding extinction and exercising our option to make it. How will humanity survive? How does automation influence individualisation? How can we utilise our resources more effectively to realise our potential to end poverty in this generation? He questions the concept of specialisation, calls for a design revolution of innovation, and offers advice on how to guide spaceship earth toward a sustainable future.
