The Kobayashi Maru
The Kobayashi Maru | Julia Ecklar
4 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
A freak shuttlecraft accident -- and suddenly Captain Kirk and most of his senior officers find themselves adrift in space, with no hope of rescue, no hope of repairing their craft, or restoring communications -- with nothing, in short but time on their hands. Time enough for each to tell the story of the Kobayashi Maru -- the Starfleet Academy test given to command cadets. Nominally a tactical exercise, the Kobayashi Maru is in fact a test of character revealed in the choices each man makes -- and does not make. Discover now how Starfleet Cadets Kirk, Chekov, Scotty, and Sulu each faced the Kobayashi Maru...and became in turn Starfleet officers.

That moment when you need advice, but you need REALLY NERDY advice… as in you need someone who knows what you‘re talking about when you say Kobayashi Maru. #nerdproblems

ravenlee I know what that is! Though I don‘t know the book, just the bit from the movie. 3y
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I‘ve got the book now. I‘m looking forward to it. 3y
GingerAntics @ravenlee I didn‘t know it was a book until the last few days. I knew it was in multiple places in movies and shows. 3y
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit @ravenlee it‘s one of those weird things that ends up being philosophy/ethics, so naturally I‘m doubly drawn to it. I can‘t believe I forgot about the philosophy and pop culture series. Those could be fun for the #DeadPhilosophersSociety to read. The individual articles by multiple living philosophers can be fun. I‘ve got my eye on the Star Trek version 🖖🏻… and the superman, and the Big Bang Theory… and a bunch of them. 🤣😂🤣 (edited) 3y
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit @ravenlee OH THERE IS A HAMILTON AND PHILOSOPHY!!! 😂🤣😂 3y
Branwen I understood that reference! 😁🖖💕 3y
GingerAntics @Branwen I knew this is where I had all of my people!!! 🖖🏻 3y
Chrissyreadit I actually saw Dungeons and Dragons and thought hmmm 3y
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I swear they have everything. It‘s amazing!!! 3y

I love this hardcover library edition :) I haven‘t started the book so I can‘t say what I think of the story yet.

TheBookDream I‘ve heard good things! 3y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
