In the groundbreaking work "I Seem To Be A Verb," R. Buckminster Fuller embarks on a journey that transcends traditional boundaries of thought and form. With a life as a polymath that intersects the realms of engineering, architecture, and philosophy, Fuller presents a thesis that is as provocative as it is poetic: humanity has the unprecedented opportunity to achieve complete harmony with its environment. This book is not just a read; it's an experience, challenging the reader to engage with Fuller's visionary insights on how we might reshape our lives and societies. Through a blend of compelling narrative, innovative design, and unorthodox typography, Fuller and his collaborators invite us on an intellectual adventure that promises to transform our understanding of ourselves and our world. "I Seem To Be A Verb" stands out as a radical departure from conventional storytelling and academic discourse. Here, Fuller employs his vast knowledge and unique worldview to argue for a future where technology and design converge to elevate human potential. The book itself, a dazzling artifact that defies easy categorization, embodies Fuller's thesis by demanding active participation from the reader. Its pages are a testament to the idea that we are not static beings but dynamic processes—verbs rather than nouns. In this compelling work, Fuller offers not just a vision but a call to action: to reimagine our role in the universe as architects of a sustainable future, leveraging our collective creativity and ingenuity to thrive in harmony with the planet.

Special. It’s beautiful inside. - Chris Sacca
I am convinced that creativity is a priori to the integrity of the universe and that life is regenerative and conformity meaningless.
