His daughter died when she was only 4 years old. Fuller thought that if the world was taking care of business her ailment (polio) would have been treatable. He decided that instead of pursuing the almighty dollar. He would spend the rest of his life seeking solutions to humanity's problems through "anticipatory design" NOT politics or public relations that's why you never heard of him. Read his "Critical Path" you'll have YOUR life's work finally handed to you. Let me know how your doing.
