A very interesting book that looks at Star Trek from the perspective of psychology. The first part is a bit basic and somewhat predictable, but the book gets more and more interesting as it ventures beyond just psychology and touches upon more philosophical issues as artificial intelligence, identity and personhood, criteria for our representations of divine beings and the fine line between stereotypes and role models. Even though it was probably written before the current renaissance of Star Trek, many of the ideas that define Star Trek remain the same in today's TV series.
One small warning: I read the book while still watching Deep Space Nine for the first time, and there were some major spoilers in the book that I didn't see coming. My fault entirely of course, I should have watched this series years ago!

Heard on audiobook. An interesting look at the psychology behind the characters and plots of the Star Trek universe.
