{"product_id":"nasatrek-isbn-9780860916178","title":"NASA\/TREK","description":"This wry and highly readable investigation of the role of space travel in popular imagination looks at the way NASA has openly borrowed from the TV show \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e to reinforce its public standing. It also celebrates the work of a group of the show’s fans who rewrite its storylines in porno-romance fanzines. Constance Penley advocates that scientific experimentation be accompanied by social and sexual experimentation, and devoted to exploring inner as well as outer space.“Going into space with \u003ci\u003eNASA\/TREK\u003c\/i\u003e is a good read and a good ride into uncharted regions of technoculture. In Penley’s hands, popular science is a place to launch an inquiry into moral, cultural and political stakes in a world ‘where no man has gone before.’”—Donna Haraway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eNASA\/TREK\u003c\/i\u003e is happily both enjoyable and insightful, and explores some intricate correspondences between science and sex. Among other things it offers a new and persuasive analysis of a populist subgenre: ‘slash’ fiction.”—Samuel R.
