The Ultimate Star Trek and Philosophy: The Search for Socrates by

5.0

I really enjoyed this book. There are a wide variety of perspectives on Trek and we get a great look at the different philosophies and beliefs that have popped up throughout Trek history. The nature of the show is ideal for exploring all kinds of ideas and it's awesome to see these ideas tackled in one book. Star Trek is also the kind of the show that is often up for interpretation, so once again ideal for a book about philosophy. I particularly enjoyed "Destroying Utopias: Why Kirk Is a Jerk," "Resistance Is Negligible: In Praise of Cyborgs," and "Romanticism in 'A City on the Edge of Forever'" specifically and all the articles on the Q Continuum and the Borg more generally. Definitely worth checking out!
