Omni-important

This is a tremendous book. Frankly, I am only writing this review to criticize those who didn't like it. (didn't get it more likely) First, one must understand that Bucky was a very unique thinker. As far "slapping on" a word like "omni" in order to sound more intelligent... well that just shows how ignorant the reviewer is. First off, Bucky used his own vocabulary ( that is explained in the book). There was another person who did that once.... Oh yeah I remember SHAKESPEARE!! The word "lonely" didn't exist before Shakes. Pass over this book if you a mediocre person with low intellect.

Maverick

Written by an independent thinker that is still decades if not one century ahead. Breath of practical applications into politics, buildings, societies, reusable resources. Each field requires thinking to absorbe.

Over my head

I have to tackle this book in small chunks. I would agree with the review that said the book is not very well written, but the ideas contained are phenomenal. How can you judge something like this? material in the book is 5 stars the ease of reading is 3 stars. I am a forward thinker and a college grad and a fan of Bucky, but it really isn't anything you can just sit down and read. Lots of time for ponderance between reading chapters, to allow comprehension and digestion. This is a must buy for fans of Fuller.

"bucky" buckmaster IS "the man"

The book---CRITICAL PATH by the late Dr.R. Buckmaster Fuller,
has many fine concepts, and potential realities in it.

DR. Fuller had designs for the Dynamaxion House, and this would
have offered to even our "working poor" the golden opportunity
to afford a house--and establish credit while being on the way up. This is called physiocracy.

Fuller, like other misundersttod geniuses like Nikola Tesla,
Preston Tucker, and others, was NOT lacking vision.
The lack of vision occurred, and still occurs, when the
INDIVIDUAL reduced to being a "number" and NOT appreciated for
the Future of Humanity.
The only difference between the late Howard Hughes and Dr.
Fuller--IS BIG MONEY to "make it happen".
Progress MUST be contingent on the initiative of the INDIVIDUAL,
NOT extreme monopolism.
Also:
We can be Patriots and Internationalists--at the same time.
As Fuller points out, ALL nations are being "de-sovereignized"
gradually.
However, Fuller does NOT believe automatic "world government".

With Fuller;
"Air-headism" is NOT the "name of the game".

Fuller shows, in chronological order, Humankind's progress.
Men and Women MUST understand this truism.

Fuller book--CRITICAL PATH--is a " REAL MUST READ"!!

Fuller warned us in CRITICAL PATH that we were wrecking our
environment.

Fuller designed Dynamaxion Cars, and aircraft.

READ the book CRITICAL PATH: You might, just might, learn
something.
Leave the pseudo-intellectalism for the nightly media "talking
heads" and the other blow-harded dullards.

Amen for CRITICAL PATH!!

from;
Dr. Nick Stage--PHD.
Your intellectual who likes using my John Deere tractor
in Hoosierland.
I am going to build my "second home" as a Neo-Dynamaxion
dwelling.
Bye, y'all.

R. Buckminster Fuller is regarded as one of the most important figures of the 20th century, renowned for his achievements as an inventor, designer, architect, philosopher, mathematician, and dogged individualist. Perhaps best remembered for the Geodesic Dome and the term "Spaceship Earth," his work and his writings have had a profound impact on modern life and thought.

Critical Path is Fuller's master work--the summing up of a lifetime's thought and concern--as urgent and relevant as it was upon its first publication in 1981. Critical Path details how humanity found itself in its current situation?at the limits of the planet's natural resources and facing political, economic, environmental, and ethical crises.

The crowning achievement of an extraordinary career, Critical Path offers the reader the excitement of understanding the essential dilemmas of our time and how responsible citizens can rise to meet this ultimate challenge to our future.
