The Final Frontier: International Relations and Politics through Star Trek and Star Wars
The proposed book uses the Star Trek television/movie and Star Wars movie series to explain key international relations (IR) concepts and theories. It begins with an overview of the importance of science fiction in literature and film/television. It then presents the development of the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises, and discusses how their progression through time has illustrated key IR theories and concepts. As a bonus, it compares the two franchises to another recent science fiction franchise used to teach IR (Battlestar Galactica).

Checked out the hardcover from CCPL. New acquisition. I have long thought Star Trek the original series said more about who we really are or can be.
Science fiction is not just about the technology.
If anything, the book gives a great reference of SF in literature, film and television.
The international relations and politics provides a historical snap shot and predictions of the future state.
