Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth

Description
In this visionary work, R. Buckminster Fuller recasts Earth as a spaceship whose passengers must learn to manage its finite resources wisely and cooperatively. Drawing on design science, technology, economics, and ecology, he challenges conventional ideas about progress and argues that humanity can create a more sustainable future through ingenuity rather than scarcity and conflict. This updated edition preserves Fuller’s original vision while adding contextual footnotes that illuminate the enduring relevance—and occasional prescience—of his figures, forecasts, and provocative ideas.
