Love the ideology, and very interested in the Venus Project.
This book however get's 3 stars because:
1. It doesn't reference any other books, scientific papers etc. which makes it hard to know the validity of his claims.
2. Jacque Fresco's theory still feels like it has some holes and areas of problems, or base assumptions which I am not sure are realisitic.
3. We are missing models, empirical treatment and scientific methods as part of his methodology. I want to see charts, tables, experimental ex...more

i saw Jacques Fresco's documentary Future By Design and felt it was imperative that i explore this concept of a new society with a deeper and vigilant eye. Cant wait to sell my TV for this book!
The first half of the book is ideology and the second half the implementation. I enjoyed reading the first half.
Really enjoyed the first half which focused on the flaws of society, and what he would prefer.
An important book. I would like to start a local team for The Venus Project in my hometown.
