Buckminster Fuller’s prophetic 1962 book Education Automation brilliantly anticipated the need to rethink learning in light of a dawning revolution in informational technology - "upcoming major world industry".
Along with other essays on education, including Breaking the Shell of Permitted Ignorance, Children: the True Scientists and Mistake Mystique this volume presents a powerful approach for preparing ourselves to face epochal changes on spaceship earth: "whether we are going to make it or not... is really up to each one of us; it is not something we can delegate to the politicians - what kind of world are you really going to have?"
