For those unfamiliar with Bucky, I highly recommend his book Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth. Its a short, light read. He has a really interesting take on technology’s role in pirates and he was a firm believer that there is enough resources for everyone. He even talks about the US’s vulnerability to an attack on its water system. https://archive.org/details/operatingmanualforspaceshipearth...
Reread this within the last 3 months. Read originally as the first book in my Industrial Design coursework.
