Arrow Re: Buckminster Fuller

___I agree his writing is a difficult style to master; I never let that stop me though. I don't recognize Wilson, but I intend to follow up. Speaking of hard to read, try Metamagical Themas by Doug Hofstater(sp).
___Keeping on Fuller, I hope more of our experts here at Hypography post to this thread as I never see his views of gravity, radiation discussed in the threads on those topics. Phrases of his like inside-out & so on may sound (or at least did sound at the time) like gobblety gook, but as he found vindication in the real discovery & construction of his namesake Fullerenes, I have to wonder if he has considerable more to offer. Just a starting point as Buffy quoted him.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
