Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth (1969) is a short book by designer and inventor R. Buckminster Fuller. Fuller likens Earth to a spaceship that must be maintained with knowledge and careful use of resources. He argues that humanity's specialization has left people unable to think comprehensively about the systems that sustain life, and that technology and design can still steer the craft wisely.
