This book struck me like lightning. I wrote a summary of Fuller's line of reasoning in my blog: Energy - The Real Thing and the Substitutes

Precession law is a right angle effect of bodies in motion on other bodies in motion. Precessional side effects are the prime objective of life.

After 20 years, I finally managed to finish this book. It's a difficult book to stick with and in it Bucky truly presented some unique and original ideas on the history of civilization, wealth, government and ecology and he was definitely well ahead of his time. I wonder what he would think of the past 30 years since this book was written if he were still around with the recent economic meltdown, the rise of a limited free market China, the demise of the Soviet Union, and the explosion of extremism and terrorism. Those accelaerated changes of the past three decades weren't on anyone including Fuller's radar in 1980. All in all, if you can get through it, Critical Path presents many fascinating theories on how mankind has socially and economically evolved and what is necessary ultimately for survival on spacehip Earth.
