First airing in 1966 with a promise to "boldly go where no man has gone before," the series quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Viewers followed Captain Kirk, Spock, and the crew of the USS Enterprise on their five-year mission, which was cut short by corporate demands for higher ratings. However, the series thrived in syndication, evolving into a multibillion-dollar media franchise with merchandise, spin-offs, feature films, and various television iterations from The Next Generation to Discovery. M. Keith Booker's account in this cultural history explores the series' original run and its profound impact on society. By situating the franchise within American history and popular culture, the author examines its engagement with significant political and social issues, including the Vietnam War, race, gender, and technological advancement. While focusing on the original series, the book also highlights the importance of subsequent programs, films, novels, comic books, and merchandise produced over the decades. Initially appealing to science fiction fans, the series captivated a broader audience through its compelling characters, thrilling plotlines, and optimistic vision of the future. This work will attract scholars of media, television, and popular culture, as well as devoted fans.
