Buckminster Fuller: Universal Hacker
Often compared to Leonardo da Vinci, R. Buckminster Fuller (‘Bucky’) was extremely productive in many fields during his 50-year “experiment to discover what the little, penniless, unknown individual might be able to do effectively on behalf of all humanity.� Among his many revolutionary designs are mass-produced housing, a new geometry system, the first aerodynamic car, a new type of map, and the geodesic dome. Fuller was one of the earliest proponents of renewable energy sources, at a time when the concept was largely unknown. It was his firm belief that for the first time in history, we have the option to produce a high standard of living for all people on an ecologically sustainable basis.The story of Fuller’s life, his inventions and his ideals is fascinating, yet unknown to most people currently aboard ‘Spaceship Earth’. In this age of globalization, his refreshing worldview is more appropriate than ever and can serve as an inspiration to all who are interested in the application of technology for the benefit of all humanity.
