A conversation with this visionary inventor, philosopher, and humanitarian. Bucky gives his extraordinarily insightful picture of where the human race is now and how to proceed from here. He describes "cosmic cost accounting," being a "comprehensivist" instead of a specialist, and doing more with less. He also describes how the space program changed our awareness of Earth and what we can do to contribute to the welfare of the planet. He tells us how synergetic geometry makes it possible to understand nature's coordination principles and how we can eliminate the use of fossil fuels.
