Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, writer, designer, inventor, philosopher, and futurist. Styled as R. Buckminster Fuller he published more than 30 books, coined many phrases and popularised the geodesic dome in modern architecture. Fuller was concerned about sustainability and human survival under the existing socio-economic system, yet he remained optimistic about humanity's future. In this book he criticises previous utopian schemes as too exclusive, arguing that this was the major source of their failure, and advocating that a utopia needs to include everyone.
