"The Computers Of Star Trek" is an illuminating exploration of the role that computers have played in the series. Occasionally, the creators of Star Trek have been amusingly off-target in their predictions of future technology, but more often than not they have been breathtakingly imaginative and in some cases eerily prescient. This book looks at the many ways in which the series has anticipated real computer development and given us a glimpse of what out future might look like.
Packed with Star Trek stories, plus facts on the very latest technological developments, it is a lively and informative overview of tomorrow's computer science, as well as an affectionate tribute to this enduringly popular series.
