Review of 'Computers of Star Trek' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Though promising in title, this book suffered from a lack of source material. This meant that the authors resorted to repeating themselves fairly often and were almost gleeful in their pointing out where Star Trek "got it wrong", superbly ironic with the book's touting of ZIP disks, floppies, and other now arcane storage media. The thing that put me off more than anything, though, is the acknowledgments sectionwherein the authors have to thank an individual who "made available to us" his Star Trek video collection. What sort of a trek fan doesn't have that to hand? Shame on them.
