L. STEVEN SIEDEN has been a student of and advocate for Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller since 1981 when Steven spent three months on a beach studying Critical Path. He worked on Fuller’s Integrity Days--the last series of public appearances Fuller made, and when Fuller died in July 1983, Steven began working with The Buckminster Fuller Institute to produce events using a portion of Fuller’s vast recorded archive. He also began learning more about Fuller’s life and ideas, and his research led to the 1988 biography Buckminster Fuller’s Universe (currently Basic Books 2000).  His next Buckminster Fuller book is A Fuller View, Buckminster Fuller's Vision of Hope and Abundance for All.

Since 1981, Steven has continued to study and apply Fuller’s wisdom to his own life while writing and lecturing on the lessons we can all learn from Bucky. Following a major “heart initiation” (a.k.a. quadruple bypass open heart surgery), Steven had his own epiphany and got the message that Fuller’s ideas needed to be spread more fully, especially among the younger generations.  Thus, the impetus for A Fuller View and the volumes to follow.  Steven lives in Seattle, Washington on planet Earth where he continues to receive “downloads” of Buckminster Fuller insights and support while connecting with and supporting others who have access to Fuller’s wisdom and experience.
