Description Girl From Spaceship Earth by Patricia Ravasio

The true story of a life intertwined with the utopian ideas of an American genius.

A mind-blowing two-day interview with iconic futurist Buckminster Fuller in 1982 Chicago leads an overeager advertising copywriter to promise she’ll share his urgent messages with the world. She has no idea what she is getting herself into, scarcely understanding what he is talking about.

When his dire predictions come true on America’s worst day (9/11) she must face up to her commitment, which morphs into a fiery obsession thanks to unsettling discoveries about Bucky’s archives further confirming the truth of his warnings. Her outsized passions threaten her relationships and her sanity as she grapples furiously to bring his ideas back into the world.

This heartrending karmic tell-all memoir is about climbing out of comfort zones to find your own voice and make a difference in the world. It also gives readers a charming introduction to the ideas of a long lost genius you’ve probably never heard of.

My Thoughts Girl From Spaceship Earth by Patricia Ravasio

In the book description, it says that ‘The Girl From Spaceship Earth’ is “The true story of a life intertwined with the utopian ideas of an American genius. After reading the book, this rings true to me.  This book is a memoir about Pat Fields, part biography on a futurist/architect, Buckminster Fuller, and a call to action to change the world, here on earth before it is too late.

When Pat Fields was an 11 year old girl she saw Buckminster Fuller at a speaking engagement in 1969.  He looked directly at her and said women like her would change the world.  She barely understood what he was talking about, let alone how she would ever be able to change the world.  Fast forward to the 80’s, now a grown young woman; Fields got the opportunity to interview Fuller. It was not the kind of interview she was expecting, not the usually questions from the interviewer and answers from the interviewee.  It was much more a lesson on nature and life on Earth. He predicts that the U.S.A. will no longer be a super power, as we know it. Pat was wowed by Fuller and promised to help spread his message. 

By the time 9/11 happened, Buckminster Fuller but Fields knew that it was one of his predictions come true.  That is when she remembered her promise and this book is part of that promise.

‘The Girl From Spaceship Earth’ is an inspiring book that has struck a chord in me.  It’s not about religion or nationality; it is for everyone who cares about planet earth and those who inhabit it.  It’s a super fast read that is so engaging that I had a hard time putting it down.  I had no idea who Buckminster Fuller was before I read it.  Now I am a fan and believer and want to read more about him and try to answer his call to action. I believe “it takes a village” and hope that others will join this call to action before it is too late!

I give ‘The Girl From Spaceship Earth’ 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who cares about planet earth and humankind!
