"The Future Burning Brightly:
The Dual Impact of Energy in Star Trek's Post-Scarcity Universe"
Star Trek: Essays Exploring the Final Frontier
I'm so happy and grateful to have gotten the chance to be part of this very cool collection of Star Trek essays. Recommended volume for anyone interested. Many thanks to editors Amy and Emily!
"... a few essays really impressed me by taking approaches to Star Trek I’d never heard or thought of before. The biggest standout for me was “The Future Burning Brightly: The Dual Impact of Energy in Star Trek’s Post-Scarcity Universe” by Martine Gjermundsen Ræstad. Ræstad takes an energy humanities perspective to analyze how Trek’s future of seemingly limitless energy and resources (courtesy of dilithium and the replicators it powers) takes us further from the environmental messages that our society needs today."
