This article discusses how the fundamental precepts of Fuller's "Dymaxion" creations, particularly those of synergetics, mechanical efficiency and sanitation proved to be ahead of the times. Ouroussoff argues that Americans were not ready to accept Fuller's "utopian post-war vision," considering it far too "radical" to embrace it as their home.
