The Computers of Star TrekLois H. Gresh, ROBERT WEINBERGThis latest entry in the "Science of Star Trek" genre is both an entertaining look at popular assumptions about computers and an exploration of computing's future
From the beginning in 1967, when the starship Enterprise first set off to seek out new civilizations, we have marveled at the wonders of the computers in "Star Trek." Inspired by the computers described in the popular TV series and its off shoots, Lois Gresh and Robert Weinberg discuss contemporary ideas about computers and their role in our lives. In fact, each of the "Star Trek" shows reflects a distinct mindset-from the deep distrust of computers in the original series, to the ubiquity of computers in every aspect of life on Deep Space Nine. Their exploration will yield answers to such puzzling questions as these: This combination of futurist TV series and futurist science makes for great entertainment-and great science.
