A fascinating vintage work by visionary architect, inventor and futurist R. Buckminster Fuller, best known for popularizing the geodesic dome. In Utopia or Oblivion, Fuller examines humanity’s future and argues that intelligent use of science, technology, design and the world’s resources could make it possible for everyone to prosper—or, if humanity fails to adapt, lead toward disaster.
The book collects Fuller’s lectures and writings from the 1960s and includes discussions of his “World Game,” design strategy, technology, education and his remarkably forward-looking ideas about global resources and humanity’s interconnected future. The Buckminster Fuller Institute identifies Utopia or Oblivion as a 1969 Bantam Books paperback.
A great collectible for readers interested in Buckminster Fuller, futurism, architecture, environmentalism, alternative technology, design and 1960s counterculture.
