Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth | R. Buckminster Fuller

3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read

One of Fuller’s 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. How will humanity survive? How does automation influence individualization? How can we utilize our resources more effectively to realize our potential to end poverty in this generation? He questions the concept of specialization, calls for a design revolution of innovation, and offers advice on how to guide “spaceship earth” toward a sustainable future. Description by Lars Muller Publishers, courtesy of The Estate of Buckminster Fuller

Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth | Richard Buckminster Fuller, Jaime Snyder

so-so

Interesting and timely ideas, but I found his writing style a bit dense. Fuller was known for his lectures - probably this would have been better heard than read.
