Reviews

a very fascinating combination of fan culture and research... --Prof. Dr. Lars C. Grabbe, University of Applied Sciences, Munster This book expands on existing literature of Star Trek as a utopia, and as a political utopia, and does so in a nicely nuanced way. It will be useful to scholars for some time. --Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, Pace University
