A Visual and Conversational Journey: Star Trek Nation

5.0 out of 5 stars
"From the moment I began reading "Star Trek Nation: An Englishman's View of America," I knew I was in for a treat. As a visual learner, the plethora of graphics, illustrations, and photographs included in the book was not just a delightful surprise but a significant enhancement to my reading experience. The fact that Lyndon Smith, the author himself, crafted these visuals added an incredibly personal and authentic touch that resonated deeply with me.

Diving into the book felt like embarking on an exploratory mission alongside Smith, as he navigates the complex yet fascinating landscape of American culture through the unique lens of the original Star Trek series. His witty and insightful observations on history, literature, social issues, and popular culture are not just entertaining but thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on the impactful relationship between science fiction and technological advancement.

Smith's writing style is fluid and engaging, making it feel as though you're having a profound conversation with a dear friend. His humor, combined with a keen sense of observation, brings to life the similarities and differences between Anglo-American cultures in a manner that's both humorous and enlightening.

What truly sets this book apart, however, is Smith's ability to intertwine his personal experiences and affections for America with rigorous detail and a genuine appreciation for the nuances of its culture. His anecdotes, from crossing the US on interstate roads to his encounters with iconic facets of American life like McDonald's and Las Vegas, are not just stories but a bridge connecting readers to the heart of American culture.

For fans of Star Trek, this book is a must-read, but I would argue it extends far beyond just the fans of the franchise. "Star Trek Nation" is a compelling exploration of cultural dynamics, technology's influence on society, and the power of storytelling. It's a book that captivates you from start to finish, leaving you with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the cultural ties that bind us across the Atlantic.

In summary, "Star Trek Nation" is not just a book; it's an experience. An experience enriched by Smith's self-made visuals, his engaging narrative, and his insightful reflections on the interplay between fiction and reality. It's a five-star journey through the eyes of an Englishman who holds a mirror to America, revealing its complexities, its triumphs, and its idiosyncrasies with humor, warmth, and an undeniable affection."

5-star review from Goodreads:

"Fascinating! This is a really fascinating book! If you start to read it, you won't be able to stop, nor pay attention to what is going on around you! In fact, even the book title is outstanding! Like his previous one 'Why You Can't Catch a Rocket to Mars', this new book proves the author's rich imagination and wide area of knowledge! Professor Smith sent me a copy of this great book, with his personal dedication to me, along with his original signature. For both, I am very proud and grateful!"
- Professor Radu L. Orban

"Humorous, Educational and Fascinating. This book is a descriptive and witty account of the author's experience of travelling in America, his knowledge of the history and his love of popular culture, particularly Star Trek. He finely compares the cultures of the UK and the USA in a comical but also sensitive way to demonstrate that the two nations are so different and yet not. There were a lot of laughs along the way.

"The lady on the other end of the line spoke enough English to tell me in English that she couldn't speak English..."

If you're a Star Trek fan, don't hesitate to read this. If you're not, read it anyway."
