Synopsis
From the back cover: A provocative and challengin blueprint for the future by one of the world's leading philosopher-scientists. The thesis: mankind has, perhaps for the first time, the prospect of a world of maximum abundance--imminent utopia. Man will be able to solve all the physicall problems of his existence because the real wealth of the world is information and energy. And these are increasing without forseeable limit. However, we have acquired the means of total destruction of the human race, too. The threat of nuclear holocaust is very real. Obsolete concerns with political systems, the pressures of unnecessary poverty, with its attendant riots and wars, can easily trigger oblivion. Now is the time for for changes--and here is how they can be made!

Paperback. First Edition Thus, so stated. First Edition Thus, so stated. Very Good+ in Wraps: shows indications of very careful use: shows mild rubbing to wrapper covers; the backstrip is very slightly concave and and has a couple of fine hairline creases; the pages have tanned considerably; the binding remains square and secure; the text is clean. No longer pristine, but remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 363pp. Mass Market Paperback. This is one of the greatest books you will ever read. He is one of the most important figures of the 20th century only surpassed by Nikola Tesla. This book will open your eyes to so many things of science, politics, ecology, economics and much more. It is so profound and important I think it should be required reading for all politicians, all involved in academia & a must read for all High School & University students. Richard Buckminster Fuller is a University to himself. I highly recommend everybody to watch on youtube his series of lectures "Everything I Know", they are from 2-3 hours each, and you'll learn more from him than probably anywhere or anybody else in your life. I discovered him later in life & wish I could have discovered him earlier. This man is a treasure chest of wisdom, profound empirical knowledge & overall supreme intellect he will blow your mind. He is a Demigod. Seller Inventory # 44076
