Fullers creations often bordered on the realm of science fiction  ranging from the freestanding geodesic dome to the three-wheel Dymaxion car to a bathroom requiring neither plumbing nor sewage. Yet in spite of his brilliant mind and life-long devotion to serving mankind  Fullers expansive ideas were often dismissed  and have faded from public memory since his death.  You Belong to the Universe documents Fullers six-decade quest to \"make the world work for one hundred percent of humanity.\" Critic and experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats sets out to revive Fullers unconventional practice of comprehensive anticipatory design  placing Fullers philosophy in a modern context and dispelling much of the mythology surrounding Fullers life. Keats argues that Fullers life and ideas  namely doing \"the most with the least \" are now more relevant than ever as humanity struggles to meet the demands of an exploding world population with finite resources. Delving deeply into Buckminster Fullers colorful world  Keats applies Fullers most important concepts to present-day issues  arguing that his ideas are now not only feasible  but necessary.  From transportation to climate change  urban design to education  You Belong to the Universe demonstrates that Fullers holistic problem-solving techniques may be the only means of addressing some of the worlds most pressing issues. Keatss timely book challenges each of us to become comprehensive anticipatory design scientists  providing the necessary tools for continuing Fullers legacy of improving the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646848852021,"sku":"ByrdShop_019933823X","price":29.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199338238.jpg?v=1781679135","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/you-belong-to-the-universe-buckminster-fuller-and-the-future-9780199338238","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
