On the 40th anniversary of Trek (two years ago!) this collection of essays was released. Some are just history about the show and its impact, others are in depth philosophical examinations of the implications of the transporter. Or the Prime Directive. One essay examined the ENTIRE show (not just a few key episodes) in the context of Vietnam. Another argues that a Vulcan’s dismissal of emotion is, in fact, not logical. And there’s a funny piece trying to figure out why no one in the 23rd century knows how to wear a seat belt.
I eat this crap up. Very entertaining.
