Célébrissime aux USA, mais certes encore méconnu en France, Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) est sans le moindre doute un des plus grands inventeurs de son temps, un homme de la Renaissance venu visiter le XXè s. : tout à la fois architecte et ingénieur, il a conçu et réalisé en 1935 une voiture futuriste trop en avance sur son temps pour avoir été produite en série, la voiture Dymaxion, les premiers habitats préfabriqués modulaires en 1940, les premies dômes géodésiques en 1954; il fut aussi économiste, géographe, passionné par ce que l'on n'appelait pas encore l'écologie, philosophie, pédagogue hors pair...

The title of this book was chosen "to encourage and stimulate the broadest attitude toward thought... If, in imagination, all of the people of the world were to stand upon one another's shoulders, they would make nine complete chains between the earth and the moon. If it is not so far to the moon, then it is not so far to the limits - whatever, whenever, or wherever they may be." The only limits to our thinking, then, should be the limits of the universe itself. In Nine Chains to the Moon R. Buckminster Fuller takes up his own challenge and brilliantly displays the unique daring of his ideas. In the course of his analysis he makes us question our commonly-accepted notions of Euclidian geometry, "good" architecture, classical solutions to economic problems, and even our use of words. It is this kind of courageous thinking that led Fuller to his invention of the Geodesic dome and the formulation of his comprehensive anticipatory design science.
