Synopsis

Buckminster Fuller's explorations as an architect, engineer, philosopher and futurist, here extended into experimental book form. Packed with utopian plans, clever insights and light-hearted musings, all aimed at reminding us that we are verbs, not nouns, and that we are never, ever, stuck with life as it is, as we can create things. Fuller was awarded 25 patents, invented the geodesic dome and the dymaxion car and was expelled from Harvard twice.
