Technology Spotlights

The technology in Star Trek was never really about the technology. Transporters raise questions about identity. The holodeck raises questions about reality. Cloaking devices raise questions about trust between nations. This series looks at the gadgets and systems that define Starfleet and asks what the franchise was actually saying when it invented them, because the answer is rarely just “wouldn’t this be useful.”

Every piece of tech is an argument. These are the arguments worth having.
