Mr. Media Interviews By Bob Andelman

The timing seems perfect to discuss Ethan Siegel’s fascinating new book, "Star Trek Treknology: The Science of Star Trek from Tricorders to Warp Drive." While not the first book of its kind, Treknology is a gorgeous, well-researched and sharply written exploration of where we actually stand on technology to take us where no man has gone before: from transporters, impulse engines and warp drives to holodecks, replicators, and tricorders, the future is closer than ever.
