Summary: Advance Praise
Review: "For the computer illiterate and the Star Trek savvy and all combinations in between The Computers of Star Trek is not only a painless examination of the history and future of computers but a highly entertaining one as well. I recommend it to all who are prepared to address the future not only in fiction but in fact." Walter Koenig, September 20th, 1999

Summary: Pith and Breadth
Review: A surprisingly broad and informed look at the future of computing couched within the cultural icon of Star Trek. Less pontifical than Age of the Spiritual Machine but often as insightful; the understanding of how and why Star Trek predicts the future of the next 10 years (and the implications for futuristic prediction) is itself worth a couple bars of latinum.

Summary: Star Trek Fan
Review: As a big fan of Star Trek and not the most computer literate person around, I found this book enjoyable and easy to understand for someone with my very little computer knowledge.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent and most informative
Review: As a Star Trek author myself and as someone who has worked on a Star Trek science book, I can whole-heartedly recommend this book. In simple easy to understand language, it not only tells you all the ins and outs of todays computers...it tells you about what computers may do in the future...and what they do on Trek now.

Summary: Better Copy Editing Next Time
Review: As one of the co-authors of the cited work "The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual," I believe that the authors of this current Trek-related volume would enjoy slightly more credibility had they and their editors made sure that my name was spelled correctly; not once, but at least three times. That's Sternbach, with a b, not Sternach.Rick Sternbach Senior Illustrator, Star Trek Voyager

Summary: Trek
Review: As soon as I saw The Computers of Star Trek in one of my local bookstores, I knew I had to have it. It is the best purchase I have made so far in the year 2000! The Computers of Star Trek actually taught me, the biggest trekkie in the world, new material about Star Trek! Unbelievable! As for the review above, a mispelling has nothing to do with the credibility of the author's work. Keep up the great Trek work Lois and Robert!

Summary: an important read
Review: Computers as a constant in our lives is an interesting, and definitely important issue for people more so than ever. Gresh and Weinberg have done a good job at exploring this idea. This novel is an important read for those interested in how computers are affecting our lives.

Summary: Give this book to a friend
Review: I give lots of blood. Now I also give copies of The Computers of Star Trekto people in hospitals. It always cheer them up. Everyone knows about Star Trek. Everyone loves this book. It tells people how to program molecules--just kidding. For real, it tells people how the computers in the shows reflected the time period when the shows were taped for TV. It tells people what computers might really be like hundreds of years from now, and whether Star Trek accurately predicted this stuff. This book is great fun. Enjoyable and thrilling for Trekkies, Trek fans, computer nerds, computer wannabe nerds, people who want to program molecules--just kidding, and for sick people who want entertainment and some fascinating knowledge about their favorite TV series, Star Trek. I recommend this to anyone who wants entertainment and a big lift in spirits. Or to anyone who everwondered about the computers on the TV shows. Or to anyone who has ever asked me for a quart of blood.
