Robert J. Sawyer - Boarding the Enterprise: Transporters, Tribbles and the Vulcan Death Grip in Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek" (Smart Pop)

Reviews
 

Some of the chapters go over territiory that may be familiar to dedicated fans like the history of the show, its battles with cancellation and what Gene Roddenbury was trying to accomplish with the original series but for me it was all really informative. I found the other essays in the book with hardly any exception to be very insightfull and really made me think about some of the story lines in detail I had never considered. I already knew the show was important for the civil rights movement and commentary on the vietnam war but this book opened my mind to other aspects such as religion on the show and how much sence the prime directive really makes.
