"If you're like me, you've watched a lot of Star Trek. If you're
even more like me, you'll read the new book Live Long and
Evolve."---Steve Mirsky, Scientific American
"With a light, accessible style, [Noor] juxtaposes Star Trek
scenarios with near-alien examples of life on Earth. . . . Noor
wants his readers to understand that science, like fiction, is rife
with intrigue."---Erin Zimmerman, Los Angeles Review of Books
"Whether or not your knowledge of Star Trek begins and ends with
Mr. Spock’s tapered ears. . . . Live Long and Evolve’s thesis
empowers."---Todd B. Gruel, PopMatters
