To Summon the Future - Scott Robinson - Bog

It's hilarious these days to watch misguided, insecure fanboys and transparent political panderers break out in rants and whines that Nu Trek - Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds - is 'woke'. Anyone who knows Trek, old or nu, can only laugh; Trek has, of course, been utterly woke since 1966. Woke. Shining a light on racism. War. Sexual discrimination. Authoritarianism. Confronting torture; imperialism; addiction; the treatment of veterans. Commenting on environmentalism; medical ethics; capitalism; homelessness; moral relativism. Put another way, if it makes an anti-woke fanboy angry, it's something Trek had much to say about from the very beginning.
