Advance Praise for My Forthcoming Book "Late Star Trek"

Or, Channeling my inner Ferengi with shameless self-promotion

I have received the endorsements that will appear on the back cover of my forthcoming book, Late Star Trek: The Final Frontier in the Franchise Era, which is available for preorder directly from the press, from Bookshop.org, or from the Evil Empire. Both are from path-breaking scholars of Star Trek, so they mean a lot!

“Combining the rigorous critical eye of a literary and political theorist and the encyclopedic knowledge of a devoted fan, Adam Kotsko offers an original, persuasive, ethical, funny, grim, and nevertheless hopeful examination of Star Trek’s twenty-first-century incarnations. Late Star Trek is a salutary intervention, a sustained, cogent analysis of what’s gone wrong, what’s gone right, and what possibilities remain for creative and critical storytelling in our late-neoliberal streaming era.” —David K. Seitz, author of A Different Trek: Radical Geographies of Deep Space Nine

“Adam Kotsko has written an eminently readable and deeply researched book on twenty-first-century Star Trek, providing an analysis that is both timely and long overdue. A must-read for anyone teaching, doing research on, or just thinking about this ever-growing franchise.” —Sabrina Mittermeier, coeditor of The Routledge Handbook of Star Trek and Fighting for the Future: Essays on “Star Trek: Discovery”
