  • “War And Anti-War” by Alvin Toffler.

    Toffler’s 1996 book uses ‘anti-war’ to present the idea that the wars of the 21st Century would be so different from past wars that we needed a new name for the conflicts. He predicted a massive war with non-state actors, like the current fight against ISIS, before 9/11/2001.

    People actually suggested this in the days after the 9/11 attacks; that we should not talk about a ‘War On Terror,’ but the idea was quickly shot down by so-called patriots.





  • I picked ‘Prodigy’ because it was the silliest version I could think of. Haven’t watched Lower Decks, so I can’t comment.

    My dream Trek series would be to go back to the beginning and scrap ALL the mythology. No Klingons or Vulcans. All the aliens look truly alien. No halfbreeds like Belana or Spock. It’s the year 2315 AD and there’s a starship with a crew of 500 exploring the Galaxy. Fresh start.
