Star Trek

myth:star_trek

Star Trek is the literate, humanist branch: a hopeful future where the starship is a vessel for moral parable, and where the texture of the writing is a constant parade of quotation and allusion — Shakespeare above all, but Milton, Melville, the Bible, and the Greek myths too. Where Star Wars gives the timeless monomyth, Trek gives the Enlightenment essay in space. — contemporary culture
