Inhalt
Ausgabe 2000
- Vom Umschlagtext:
This work looks at the scientific reality behind the computers in "Star Trek", from the holodeck and virtual reality to Data and artificial intelligence. It looks at the 1960s series, when Kirk embodied the suspicion many people felt, and the 1990s embracing of computer technology.
Ausgabe 2001
- Vom Umschlagtext:
The depiction of computers on the various "Star Trek" series has ranged from lame to breathtakingly imaginative. This book covers the gamut, and makes lucid and entertaining comparison of these fictional computers with those that now exist or are likely to inhabit our future. Throughout its history, "Star Trek" has been an accurate reflection of contemporary ideas about computers and their role in our lives. Affectionately but without illusions, The Computers of Star Trek shows how those ideas compare with what we now know we can and will do with computers.
