Spaghetti and bucky balls

It's been a little over a week since I last read the Future Feeder site, so I missed the link to this site that's put Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics book in PDF form.
Bucky was a visionary, a "futurist", a mathmetician and much, much more. His legacy of thought and works is considered by many to be unsurpassed in scope.
The man passed away in 1983, but his theories and designs are being utilized in incredibly innovative engineering and scientific technologies today.
One of my interests is nanotechnology and R. Buckminster Fuller's "Bucky Tubes" are quickly becoming the basis for nanomachines.
I am always pleased when he gets the recognition he deserves.
