About the Author, Jacque Fresco 1916-2017 Jacque Fresco is best known for his work as a visionary futurist who dared to ask the difficult questions: Will civilization collapse? How can we transition to a new social system? What changes must humanity undergo? He attempted to provide answers to these questions in a body of work spanning 80 years. But before Fresco was a futurist, he was a designer and inventor. His interdisciplinary interests yielded innovations across a wide range of products including: aircraft, prefabricated houses, boats, automobiles, electronic and medical equipment, hand utensils and tools, furniture, and for which Fresco is perhaps most known—models of total city systems. To bring his vision to life, he designed and inhabited a future-oriented environment consisting of 10 buildings in Venus, FL where, along with Roxanne Meadows, he founded The Venus Project to showcase a holistic global perspective to international visitors. Fresco was a prolific speaker and his archives include over 800 hours of lectures on a vast array of topics, as sampled in this compilation of insights. Decades of study across several disciplines led Fresco to a firm conclusion: our social structures, societal norms, traditional beliefs, and economic system underlie the numerous escalating crises currently afflicting human civilization. The scope of Fresco's considerations, the breadth of his knowledge, the depth of his experience, and the technical nature of his proposals culminate into a system of thought so far unparalleled by any other futurist, philosopher, or social theorist, and will prove difficult to parallel for times to come. His outline for a new social design calls for changes in governance, economics, urban planning, education, human relationships, language, and values. He didn’t just criticize our current situation; he presented us with a thoughtful alternative. These quotes will give you penetrating insights into humanity's follies, human behavior, and a possible positive future from a unique futurist who saw beyond so many.
