Phasers on Stun!: How the Making--And Remaking--Of Star Trek Changed the World by Ryan Britt

adventurous informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

If you enjoy Star Trek, there's a good chance you have a favorite series and/or movie. I'm a TNG fan, myself, partially because it's what I grew up on (a nod to Picard and Strange New Worlds for being top notch). And I will admit I haven't seen all the series. But regardless, I think most of us can say there's plenty of room in the Star Trek universe for all past, present, and future series/movies (seriously, don't gatekeep someone's love of something, it's a jerk move). 

This is a book written by a fellow nerd, it's part history and part love letter to all things Star Trek. I learned a lot and it was quite entertaining from beginning to end. I'll take marks off for some pretty big spoilers on Star Trek: Discovery. Which is more my fault that I haven't watched it yet but, dangit, that was a big spoiler (or maybe not, I dunno, I haven't seen it still but it sounded big 😂). If you enjoy Star Trek, I say pick up this one up!
