Archival Adventures: Fuller's World Game
Archival Adventures: Fuller's World Game
It's time for an adventure! Time for an adventure! Join ArchivistAnthony this week as they explore Buckminster Fuller’s World Game with a look at the Don Fusaro Collection on R. Buckminster Fuller. Modeled after war games at the U.S. Navy War College, the World Game was envisioned as a “great logistics game” and was originally titled the “World Peace Game.” It was intended as a tool for finding solutions to hunger, illiteracy, lack of health care, environmental degradation, and selfish thinking at a global level, avoiding the “local focus hocus pocus” results achieved by focusing on the city, state, or national level when addressing problems. Fusaro was a fan of Fuller’s work and a volunteer for the World Game project during the 1960s.
