This is a book written nearly at the end of Mr. Fuller's life.

This is a book written nearly at the end of Mr. Fuller's life. "It Came to Pass Not to Stay" is an amazing piece of work; the word that comes to my mind when reading (besides brilliant, genius, etc) is efficiency. There is not one superfluous word in this book.Buckminster's style here is an unprecedented minimalistic-poetic sort of prose. He is getting across the largest amount of knowledge in the least amount of words. (Read this book slowly, as it is hard to absorb, due to this efficiency of wording.) There is invaluable knowledge in this book - things that could benefit the world if properly understood and enacted. However, I think very few people will be able to understand it. (I'm not even sure if I count myself in that number.)
