Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth
by R. Buckminster Fuller
ISBN: 1-882305-08-6
Buckminster
Fuller, the inventor of the geodesic dome, puts forth his
original vision of Spaceship Earth. He shares his ideas of
developing a greater perspective of the earth within the universe,
describing everything in a mechanically-minded framework--as
only Bucky Fuller can. Operating Manual was written
as a blueprint for our survival, even more relevant now than
when it was first published in 1969. Here, in a mood at once
philosophical and involved, Fuller traces human intellectual
evolution and weighs our capability for survival on this magnificent
craft, this Spaceship Earth. |

Consciousness

ISBN: 0-9703651-1
Written
with the non-technical reader in mind, The Spirit of the Internet

Internet community. Throughout the book, speculations about
the Internet, the noosphere, virtual reality, shamanic plants,
and other seemingly unrelated domains are woven into a fascinating
tapestry of thought about the evolving Gaian consciousness
that is beginning to envelope the planet.
