Publisher Synopsis
"Stimulating and provocative . . . Like a Francis Bacon charting the course for future generations to pursue, Fuller anticipates the need for the 'comprehensive designer, ' who would be a 'synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist, and evolutionary strategist.' Such a man, he says, would be an initiator of design, able to anticipate all of man's needs and provide new and advanced standards of living for a steadily increasing percentage of the world's population."--"Chicago Tribune""Zung's anthology traces the development of Fuller's intellectual life and provides an excellent introduction for a new generation to the life and work of this brilliant thinker."--"Publishers Weekly" Read more...
