Star Trek Nation: An Englishman's View of America
All you ever wanted to know about how Britain views America (but were afraid to ask)
In this new book Lyndon focuses his attention squarely on the New World. Star Trek Nation is a desultory and humorous telling-off of Americans that will be engrossing for you if you experienced, or have interest in, the TV, music, and/or atmosphere of the 1960s and 70s. The model Lyndon uses for understanding Yanks is Star Trek and the lens through which he views them is Sherlock Holmes' magnifying glass. So, if you have any interest in these legends of Anglo-American popular culture, you must read this book to fully appreciate how the reserved folks in the Old Country view the loud dudes one finds stateside, and vice versa. To cut a long story short, Lyndon's conclusion is that we in Olde England love you and we need you! (As I'm sure Ozzy Osbourne once said.) Even so, like most Brits, Lyndon is not shy of tackling such important questions as: why do Yanks drive on the right (i.e. wrong) side of the road, what have they got against (hot) tea, and when are they going to get smart (as Trump would say), and adopt The Queen as their head of state?
