Lisa Timpf Reviews Iris and the Crew in Interstellar Flight Press

I am over the moon and gobsmacked! The amazing Lisa Timpf reviewed Season One: Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space! at Interstellar Flight Press, in her article, “An Inclusive Future for Space Opera.”

“As a fan of Star Trek: The Original Series, I have often marveled about the fact that devices that may have seem far-fetched at the time they were introduced on the show have, in many cases, become reality. The ability to make video calls is now commonplace with apps like Zoom and FaceTime. I even had a flip phone once that bore a resemblance to the Star Trek communicators. And, as I learned while reading Dinner on Mars, the capability for making synthetic food is continually expanding. In other words, imagine it, and there’s a good chance that it will be developed (although we don’t have the transporter . . . yet . . . )

“Perhaps books like Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space will set the foundation for broader thinking about assistive technology — or better still, help us get to the point where, as is the case with the crew of the S.S. SpoonZ, the word “disability” will have no relevance.”
