The Future of Design shares Jacques Fresco's life and profound vision, and many people consider him to be the modern Leonardo da Vinci. Like Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacques was a self-taught futurist who often described himself as a "genius"; Generalist; Or rather, students from multiple disciplines, who are students in many interrelated fields. He is a prolific inventor who has spent his entire life (now 90 years old) conceptualizing and designing inventions of various scales that require the use of innovative technologies. As a futurist, Jacques is not only a conceptualizer and theorist, but also an engineer and designer.
