We will be discussing Synergy—Bucky’s central ideas. Recommended reading second half of Section 5 & Section 6.

Read and discuss Buckminster Fuller’s 44 page masterpiece “Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth” with us. Each week we will cover two sections of the book—just around 10 pages.

To read the book on-line here are two options:
