http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_Path_(book) See Fullers Critical Path: Speculative Prehistory of Humans. Omni-considerate and comprehensive view from 70 years of experience with extensive traveling around the world. Dude was right out of the 3-stooges with his 3 watchs he wore because he was such a world around traveler ask to come speak or design or whatever. Perhaps 2 - 400 years ahead of his time. imho r6
I enjoyed his book. It showed ways to improve many things that we have around us including the electric grid in America, which , as he pointed out, really sucks. His geodesic dome wasn't much to think about and didn't improve better building materials or incorporate any wind or solar power which were then coming on line.
Dymaxion Car Rebuilt--( Norman Foster ) http://www.gizmag.com/norman-foster-rebuilds-dymaxion-car/16638/ Like I said Fuller may be 2 - 300 years ahead of his time. He thought his tensegrity structures were the best representation of gravitational spacetime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensegrity r6
