Well written, very helpful. My Spaceship Earth had a strange knocking sound, the manual suggested this could be caused by continental drift and was a normal part of planet ownership. Planet still having heating problems with no fix yet, so -1 star. Price of book defiantly worth not having to have the damn thing towed.

Every literate person on the planet should read this book.Fuller wants us to all think clearly, make good choices, be conscious and get the big picture. This book moves fast but delivers a punch. Even if you've read it before, read it again.

This book presents the reader with a set of thinking tools for comprehensive problem-solving. Bucky Fuller asks the reader, "How big can we think?" and then proceeds to show exactly what he means in terms almost anyone can understand.Spaceship Earth provides a justification, based on Fuller's unique and compelling narrative of the history of western civilization, to reject specialization as harmful to the survival of our species. He reveals the great deception of shortages (energy, jobs, money) as a boldfaced lie by the world's most powerful interests (the "great pirates") and backs his assertion with compelling evidence. By putting boundaries on our thinking, e.g. the common prefaces to verbal expression we often hear, like "I'm not a lawyer," or "I'm not an engineer," that unfairly diminish the value of people's mental capacity to make moral judgments, we facilitate the "divide and conquer" strategy of the great pirates.Original thinkers do not always command attention. People tend to refer to them as "ahead of their time," or "impractical," or even "dishonest." Amazingly, Buckminster Fuller enjoyed the opposite during his lifetime. A master of many disciplines, he received no less than 41 honorary PhDs., yet described himself as a "non-conforming misfit" and was expelled from Harvard University, twice!The introduction is written by Fuller's grandson, Jamie Snyder, who lived and worked with Fuller for 28 years. He admits that Bucky's writing style can be complex due to his tendency to invent words and spin dynamic phrases when nothing else could express his thoughts. Snyder's suggestion is to just read through sections that are not immediately clear to get a sense of meaning, then after consideration, reread them. I found this technique very effective towards gaining an understanding Fuller's system-dynamical thinking style where it became complex in the later chapters.Spaceship Earth conveys a vital message for humanity. Do not leave solutions to those supposedly "in charge" (politicians). Fuller advocates empowering everyone, literally, in the activity of innovating ways to do more with less in order to save our planet from the insatiable drive to consume every single drop of oil, every fish in the sea, and every breath of fresh air, before it is too late.This book is suitable for all audiences, yet I think that young people may be especially able to embrace its message and integrate Fuller's concepts into their educational plans and life styles. If Amazon had a six-star category, this is the one book I'd place in it.

Completely essential reading for the environmentally-minded, the future-minded, and anyone whose business is affected or uses energy, and is impacted by the Energy Revolution. (See https://667-per-cm.net/2016/03/25/this-solar-future-is-inevitable-the-key-question-is-how-long-it-will-take-david-roberts-of-vox/) Buckminster Fuller lays out the physical and business argument for transitioning to solar energy (by which he means, quite properly, what we call solar PV and wind). Fuller argues for sustainability as simply another law of Nature. (It is. In fact, it's a mathematical rule. See [...]) I go to it for reference and inspiration.And if you want to know more about him, read the two articles from THE NEW YORKER:[...][...]What's a little sad is that, while many lauded him as a visionary, and build physical testaments to him, e.g., the Walt Disney Company, they did not embrace his philosophy from the start. Maybe it was too out there. And maybe they'll get there eventually.Certainly Michael Osborne did: [...]

Very few people have the capacity to highlight our species interdependence on the environment in a simple way. Out of this selective group Buckminster Fuller is the best. In this book, which is a great starting point to understand Bucky's ideas, he guides us on an intellectual journey on the frame of mind needed to help us in the centuries ahead. Especially, with what our modern world calls climate change and technological progress.Bucky starts out by giving us his version of the great man theory of human development. Then he moves into our present world. Showing us how it developed and the great opportunities we have before us at this very moment and the very real power we have developed to wipe out all life. Bucky, however, is optimistic of our future. He says that we have the power to transform the world right now. With a bit of engineering and the right frame of mind we can re-design our world as if were were living on a spaceship. Where we have to look after everything, from cleaning our water and our air. Look after the sea and life forms that accompany us. Even looking after each other. In this book Bucky lays presents us with a plan that will solve a lot of the world current big problems.If ideas had weight then this thin book would be impossible to lift up

Reading Bucky Fuller's "manual" is a real treat almost 50 years after it was published. His ideas about our relationship to nature and what we have done to the planet are very timely still, though it is hard now to warm up to his optimistic view that we can really get things under control. I don't remember what congress was like back in 1969/1970, but it's hard to imagine that the lack of cooperation in our own congress would do much to keep Fuller optimistic. He writes with an enthusiastic belief that we have real hope and that we have the international will to make life comfortable for everyone on earth. Sigh! I think he is right that in material terms it would be possible. But in political terms -- not a chance. Politics does not seem to be aimed at all to create human comfort. So a nostalgic back to the future!
