Determined to make good on her pledge, she digs into Fuller's archives at Stanford and makes jaw dropping discoveries about fossil fuels and climate change which fuel her already outsized passions. In a gripping and charming narrative, the touch and go future of humanity is laid bare through the eyes of the genius Steve Jobs called The Leonardo da Vinci of the twentieth century. It's not just a true story. It's real hope for the world we are living in.
