Utopia or Oblivion is a provocative blueprint for the future. This comprehensive volume is composed of essays derived from the lectures he gave all over the world during the 1960's. Fuller's thesis is that humanity - for the first time in its history - has the opportunity to create a world where the needs of 100% of humanity are met. This is Fuller in his prime, relaying his urgent message for earthians critical moment and presenting pioneering solutions which reflect his commitment to the potential of innovative design to create technology that does "more with less" and thereby improves human lives . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars
bucky-my hero and inspiration,
By jo (toronto. canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Utopia or Oblivion: The Prospects for Humanity
A very tough read which I go to over and over again, I was inspired and enlightened every step of the way. Bucky's revolutionary ideas are the way of the future. Enable a future. A true visionary he saw the inevitable and being the humanitarian that he was, along with his genius devised ways to achieve world peace, free of hunger. Less is more...doing more with less. The design science revolution. A must read if you are interested in urban planning, and making a difference. Made me want to fulfill his dream. If you build it they will come. He got the buckyball rolling. Great for youth if only he wasn't so darn hard to read. Explains very well the corporate and military structure as well and the evilness implicit in the malthusian robber-baron structure to our economy. I gave it a four star review but conceptually it is 5 star...it being so difficult...I gave it a four. Bucky like McLuhan is more relevant today than in his own time and equally hard to read.

This review is from: Utopia or Oblivion: The Prospects for Humanity (Paperback)
Naval Officer, Engineer and Inventor BF starts with a short review of his past and goes onto to give an explanation of the worlds problems followed by examples on ways to correct them. A tough read, but extremely enlightening.
