Description:How many invisible "energy slave" workers does it take to fuel our modern lifestyles?Australian comics artist Stuart McMillen profiles American futurist Buckminster Fuller and his imaginative way of picturing the work that fossil fuels perform for humanity. Going one step beyond ‘horsepower’, Bucky Fuller saw that all work could be measured by the number of imaginary humans that it would take to do a physical task. He coined the unit ‘energy slave’ representing the yearly effort of a single human, and set about showing how many invisible workers are needed to power the everyday tasks that we take for granted.Originally published to the web in 2017, this thought-provoking comic explores humanity’s heavy reliance on energy, and wonders how our supersized lifestyles will be powered in a post-fossil fuel world. Energy Slaves is best read in conjunction with Stuart McMillen’s ‘sister’ comic Peak Oil, about geologist M. King Hubbert’s 1956 forecast of the looming peak and decline of the U.S. oil industry.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
