Hefty quantities of Synergetics seem incomprehensible to me.
Fuller was trying to make himself into a mystical science guru—and Synergetics laid out his domain.
There is some worthwhile material in there—though you might be better of with more recent secondary sources.
But which sources. The reading of his that I understood I found amazing. And i can imagine that grasping synergistic might be useful for my brain.
Recommendations for reading are always welcome.
It depends on what aspect you are interested in.
For example, I found this book pretty worthwhile:
“Light Structures—Structures of Light: The Art and Engineering of Tensile Architecture” Illustrated by the Work of Horst Berger.
