Synergetics
 

Some might wonder why I cite R. Buckminster Fuller at any opportunity. This might help, by putting his life in perspective against three others.
The Method of Cosmic Thinking (in 4 Lifetimes)
What they describe as 'pre-scientific' thought, Fuller would call Mother Nature's Geometry.

While books like Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth and Utopia Or Oblivion are popularly accessible, Synergetics and Synergetics II are both scholarly and obscure.

His final book [in audio here] is staunchly anti-corporate, Grunch of Giants.
