| ds9 business as usual: The Voyages of Star Trek K.M. Heath, A. S. Carlisle, 2020-11-16 Star Trek emerged alongside mini-skirts, bellbottoms, and VW vans; flourished in the shadow of Madonna, big hair, and greed; and expanded with computers, Beanie Babies, and religious revitalization. Star Trek survived the culture shock of 9/11 and experienced a revival in the era of yoga pants, hybrid cars, and Starbucks. After more than 5 decades, Star Trek is alive and well, still voyaging through space and time. But, why is that? How has this science fiction franchise managed to anticipate and adapt to such rapid culture change? In The Voyages of Star Trek: A Mirror on American Society through Time, authors K. M. Heath and A. S. Carlisle, investigate the enduring appeal of Star Trek, noting how it has mirrored, foreshadowed, and adapted to contemporary American culture from 1966 to the present. Through anthropological analysis, the authors examine the evolution of Star Trek by tying its storylines to events and developments in the U.S., assessing the extent to which the visual image of Star Trek is reflected on the screen from “snapshots” of randomly selected episodes and all of the films. By examining how Star Trek addressed contemporary social issues through a sci-fi lens over time, the authors postulate, Americans can better understand their own changing culture. If StarTrek can continue to anticipate and adapt to our rapidly changing world, then it should remain a part of the cultural landscape for another 50 years, truly going where few franchises have gone before. |

| ds9 business as usual: Live Long and Evolve Mohamed A. F. Noor, 2018-09-18 An engaging journey into the biological principles underpinning a beloved science-fiction franchise In Star Trek, crew members travel to unusual planets, meet diverse beings, and encounter unique civilizations. Throughout these remarkable space adventures, does Star Trek reflect biology and evolution as we know it? What can the science in the science fiction of Star Trek teach us? In Live Long and Evolve, biologist and die-hard Trekkie Mohamed Noor takes readers on a fun, fact-filled scientific journey. Noor offers Trekkies, science-fiction fans, and anyone curious about how life works a cosmic gateway into introductory biology, including the definitions and origins of life, DNA, reproduction, and evolutionary processes, such as natural selection and genetic drift. For instance, he shows how the rapid change in a population of nanite robots follows basic principles of natural selection that apply to species on Earth. He explains how certain creatures depicted in the series are bisexual, not asexual, and what evolutionary advantage that difference provides. And he considers factors that affect successful interspecies mating and delves into what keeps species distinct. Noor discusses the importance of research and how Star Trek has influenced scientists to engage in cutting-edge work. Giving readers irresistible and entertaining insights, Live Long and Evolve looks at some of the powerful science behind one of the most popular and longest-running science-fiction series. |

In our modern world, storytelling creates its own myths and legends, in media ranging from the world of television and cinema to literature and comic books, that help us make sense of the world we live in today.

And where might the storytelling of tomorrow take readers and viewers as we imagine our future? From The X-Files to H.P. Lovecraft, from Lost to the Marvel cinematic universe and many worlds beyond, this study explores our modern storytelling mythology and where it may lead us. |

| ds9 business as usual: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine Andrew J. Robinson, 2011-06-01 Fast ein Jahrzehnt lang hat sich Garak nur nach einer Sache gesehnt - nach Hause zurückzukehren. Im Exil auf einer Raumstation, umgeben von Fremden die ihn verabscheuen und ihm misstrauen, war die Rückkehr nach Cardassia Garaks einziger Traum. Nun endlich ist er zu Hause. Doch dieses Zuhause ist eine Landschaft voller Tod und Zerstörung. Verzweiflung und Staub sind stete Begleiter, und ein Glas sauberes Wasser und ein warmer Schlafplatz sind wahrer Luxus. Ironischerweise ist es ein Brief von einem der Fremden auf jener Raumstation, Dr. Julian Bashir, der Garak dazu inspiriert, die Struktur seines Lebens zu betrachten. Elim Garak war ein Schüler, ein Gärtner, ein Spion, ein Exilant, ein Schneider, selbst ein Befreier. Es ist ein Leben, das durch die Zwänge der cardassianischen Gesellschaft gezeichnet wurde; mit wenig Verständnis für die Person und sogar noch weniger Mitgefühl. Doch es ist der Schneider, der versteht, wer Elim Garak war und was er sein könnte. Es ist der Schneider, der das zerstörte Gewebe Cardassias sieht und der weiß, wie man diese verwüstete Gesellschaft wieder zusammenführen kann. Das ist seltsam, denn ein Schneider ist das Einzige, was Garak niemals sein wollte. Doch es ist der Schneider, den sowohl Cardassia als auch Elim Garak brauchen. Es ist der Schneider, der die einzelnen Teile wieder zusammenfügen und einen Stich zur rechten Zeit machen kann. |
| ds9 business as usual: The Cult of Smart Fredrik deBoer, 2020-08-04 Named one of Vulture’s Top 10 Best Books of 2020! Leftist firebrand Fredrik deBoer exposes the lie at the heart of our educational system and demands top-to-bottom reform. Everyone agrees that education is the key to creating a more just and equal world, and that our schools are broken and failing. Proposed reforms variously target incompetent teachers, corrupt union practices, or outdated curricula, but no one acknowledges a scientifically-proven fact that we all understand intuitively: Academic potential varies between individuals, and cannot be dramatically improved. In The Cult of Smart, educator and outspoken leftist Fredrik deBoer exposes this omission as the central flaw of our entire society, which has created and perpetuated an unjust class structure based on intellectual ability. Since cognitive talent varies from person to person, our education system can never create equal opportunity for all. Instead, it teaches our children that hierarchy and competition are natural, and that human value should be based on intelligence. These ideas are counter to everything that the left believes, but until they acknowledge the existence of individual cognitive differences, progressives remain complicit in keeping the status quo in place. This passionate, voice-driven manifesto demands that we embrace a new goal for education: equality of outcomes. We must create a world that has a place for everyone, not just the academically talented. But we’ll never achieve this dream until the Cult of Smart is destroyed. |

DeCandido, 2012-08-14 In the aftermath of the Dominion War, the Klingon cruiser IKS Gorkon is on its way back to the homeworld when it is diverted by a distress call... It is two hundred years since the expanding Klingon Empire discovered an icy planet rich in a valuable mineral, topaline. They named the planet 'taD' - Klingon for 'frozen' - and called its people 'jeghpu'wl' - conquered. It is four years since the Klingon Empire invaded Cardassia, breaching the Khitomer Accords and causing a diplomatic rift with the Federation. On taD, depleted Klingon forces were overthown in a coup d'etat, and the victorious rebels took advantage of the disruption to appeal for recognition to the Federation. Now the Klingons have returned to taD and re-established their control. But the stubborn rebels insist on Federation recognition. A solution to the impasse must be found: a task that falls to the Federation's new ambassador to the Klingon Empire. Worf regards himself as a fighter, not a diplomat. But the Federation disagrees. Now, for the sake of the Empire, Worf must somehow forge a peace between the hardened rebels and the battle-hungry Klingon forces. And as everyone knows, Klingons do not negotiate... |

| ds9 business as usual: Some Assembly Required George Bradley, 2021-04-21 George Bradley, whose previous work has drawn praise from James Merrill and Harold Bloom, here meditates on contemporary culture, on the natural world and the world imagined, and on the life of the poet. Whether he is standing in line at the SuperSave, where tabloids beckon, or contemplating the change of seasons in a classic sonnet sequence, Bradley juxtaposes the sublime workings of the mind with the mundane static that surrounds it. What he finds in this conjunction is a surprising beauty, a uniquely contemporary formal music, and, often, a curative dose of humor. Even verse itself is not exempt from his clarifying view, as he proves in “How I Got in the Business,” a wild ride through several sorts of commerce, including the poetry trade. Throughout Some Assembly Required, Bradley savors both the riveting accident of everyday life and the long view afforded by art, in poetry that is taut, witty, and dynamic. |
| ds9 business as usual: The New Trek Programme Guide Paul Cornell, Martin Day, Keith Topping, 2013-10-31 STAR TREK is one of the world's most popular and enduring science fiction franchises, spanning decades' worth of TV, film, comics, books and more. This book - originally published just as DEEP SPACE NINE was first being produced - analyses the rebirth and renaissance of the series in the nineteen eighties and nineties. Along with masses of factual information - plot synopses, cast and crew and, uniquely, British transmission dates - this Programme Guide casts a gently critical eye over the series' continuity (and lack of it) and lingers over the moments of humour (intentional and otherwise). In sum, this is a light-hearted, detailed and affectionate overview of the revitalised version of the classic STAR TREK. Please note that it has not been updated since its original publication. |
| ds9 business as usual: Ds9#27 A Stitch In Time Andrew Robinson, 2012-10-02 Tailor, soldier, spy ... the enigmatic Garak, Cardassian-in-exile on space station Deep Space Nine, established himself rapidly - thanks largely to his superb portrayal by actor (and now author) Andrew Robinson - as one of the best-loved characters on Star Trek DS9. Garak refers to himself as 'just a simple tailor' - but everyone knows that there's more to him than that. Ex-member of the Cardassian invasion forces; ex-member of the Obsidian Order, the dreaded Cardassian secret police; cynic, wit, epicure, man of mystery: - why WAS he banished from his home planet, and why does he choose to spend his exile on Deep Space Nine? Andrew Robinson, to whom Garak's voice comes as readily as his own, spins an enthralling, twisting yarn in true inimitable Garak style. |

Trekonomics, the premier book in financial journalist Felix Salmon's imprint PiperText, approaches scarcity economics by coming at it backwards — through thinking about a universe where scarcity does not exist. Delving deep into the details and intricacies of 24th century society, Trekonomics explores post-scarcity and whether we, as humans, are equipped for it. What are the prospects of automation and artificial intelligence? Is there really no money in Star Trek? Is Trekonomics at all possible? |
