An interview on Late Star Trek

And related matters

Danny Sullivan, who wrote a nice review of Late Star Trek, has also posted a long interview with me that discusses, among other things, the relationship of my previous book Neoliberalism’s Demons with the new one. A preview:

It's kind of nuts, but it’s part of a broader trend: if you own an intellectual property, you have to maximize that familiarity. You have to monetize people's nostalgia. This is not only within Star Trek, of course, you see it with all the comic book movies and with all the reboots of everything. This is a way in which Star Trek, which is supposed to be about the future and exploration just winds up obsessed with its own past.
