Editorial Reviews
Review
"Going into space with NASA/TREK is a good read and a good ride into uncharted regions of technoculture. In Pentley'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 "NASA/TREK is happily both enjoyable and insightful, and explores some intricate correspondences between science and sex. Among other things it offers a new a persuasive analysis of a populist subgenre: 'slash' fiction". - Samuel R. Delany
