In human thermodynamics, Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1893) was an American architect and philosopher noted for his 1944 energy slave concept, for his 1975 metaphorical theory of synergetics, where he loosely equated synergy to negentropy, and for writing about evolution as an eddy in the second law of thermodynamics in his 1976 book And it Came to Pass—Not to Stay. [1]

Fuller was writing on entropy and the second law, citing C. P. Snow, as early as 1969, in what seems to be theorizing on issue of sustainability of humans in the universe. [2]

His writings on the energy and entropy seemed often to be presented in a poetic style, often found mixed with religious thermodynamics speculations. The following, for instance, is an extract from Fuller's 1983 book Humans in Universe, a passage which essentially amounts to a lot of nonsensical gibberish; although the idea of equating God to entropy or anti-entropy is not a new one. [3]

In 1979, Fuller was given a copy of his old Harvard classmate William Sidis' undiscovered 1920 book The Animate and the Inanimate, which presents a entropy-reversal theory of life, and after reading it dispatched a letter of to Scientific American, proclaiming its value. [4]
