Star Trek Day is celebrated every year on September 8 to appreciate the vision of the future created by Star Trek’s creator, Gene Roddenberry, and to celebrate Roddenberry himself. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/star-trek-day/ points out that the show can appear backwards if viewed through today’s lens, but when we consider that a Russian officer was serving on a Federation starship with Americans during the Cold War, this is absolutely visionary. How can you celebrate Star Trek Day? With a Star Trek marathon, of course! Read some Star Trek novels (they’re actually pretty good!). Get out your Star Trek accessories and geek out all day long.
The Star Trek franchise reflects, conveys, and comments upon the key philosophical tensions of the modern era. This book details the manner in which these tensions and controversies are manifested in Star Trek across its iterations, arguing that Star Trek offers an indispensable contribution to our understanding of politics in the modern era.
