I'm going to contradict myself; Ross Lovegrove is good, but 'none better' would be Richard Buckminster Fuller. He came to free us from the prison created by
René DesCartes all those years ago. With his
Synergetics. Long story short, while we think in 3 dimensions at 90° to each other, nature uses 4 dimensions at 120° (our good friend, the Tetrahedron).
Instead of mimicing Nature, he perceived it very, very deeply. Like nanoscale deeply.
