Buckminster Fuller

Fuller published his first book, 'Nine Chains to the Moon,' outlining his ideas on technology, design, and the potential for human progress.

Fuller published 'Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth,' a seminal work arguing that humanity must learn to manage the Earth's resources sustainably to survive. This book popularized the metaphor of Earth as a spaceship.

Fuller published 'Utopia or Oblivion,' further exploring his ideas on design science, global problem-solving, and the potential for a utopian future.

Fuller developed the concept of 'Synergetics,' a system of geometry and philosophy based on patterns found in nature. He explored this concept in his two-volume work, 'Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking' (1975) and 'Synergetics 2' (1979).
