In the late 1960s the world was faced with impending disaster: the
height of the Cold War, the end of oil, and the decline of great
cities throughout the world. Out of this crisis came a new
generation of thinkers, designers and engineers who hoped to build
a better future, influenced by visions of geodesic domes, walking
cities, and a meaningful connection with nature. In this brilliant
work of cultural history, architect Douglas Murphy traces the lost
archeology of the present-day through the works of thinkers and
designers such as Buckminster Fuller, the ecological pioneer
Stewart Brand, the Archigram architects who envisioned the Plug-In
City in the '60s, as well as co-operatives in Vienna, communes in
the Californian desert, and protesters on the streets of Paris. In
this mind-bending account of the last avant garde, we see not just
the source of our current problems but also some powerful
alternative futures.
