Summary

Star Trek is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. It has changed our cultural landscape in so many ways since it first aired in 1966. The franchise has generated billions of dollars in revenue, leading to a wide range of spin-off games, novels, toys, and comics. Star Trek is noted for its social science, too, with its progressive civil rights stances and its celebration of future diversity that began with The Original Series, one of television's first multiracial casts.

The Science of Star Trek explores one of the greatest science-fiction universes ever created and showcases the visionary tech that inspired and influenced the real-world science of today. The perfect Star Trek gift for fans of the franchise, this book addresses many unanswered, burning questions, including: What can Star Trek tell us about aliens in our Milky Way?; How has Star Trek influenced space culture?; What can Star Trek tell us about planet hunting?; What Star Trek machines came true?; And when will we boldly go?

This author’s depth of knowledge is truly cosmic!

If you start out listening to this audio book purely wanting to learn about the Science of Star Trek then boy are you in for a massive and pleasant surprise! Not only will you be treated to such but you will have your mind expanded to the proverbial size of a planet by Prof Brake’s immense input of knowledge regarding SciFi, Science fact, Science history, Philosophy, Physics (Astro and ‘normal’) and Geopolitics!
You most definitely don’t have to be a Science nurd to enjoy this listen, as Prof Brake’s superb ability of explaining his subject matter in an easy and understandable way is without parallel. This Audible presentation is worth its weight in Latinum.
