“I was interested first of all in trying to capture this myth that was always changing and to create some sort of a master story, some version of the myth that resonated with me, since I could have taken more or less any detail that I wanted or the opposite and try to put that down on the page in a way that I could express from that outset for myself and for our readers what it was that was so magical about [Buckminster] Fuller's way of putting together the world.” WorldWayTryingFirstsStoriesWantedTogetherTakenMastersReaderPagesOppositesDetailsMythVersionsCaptureBuckminster Fuller Author:Jonathon Keats
