I did enjoy this book - relatively short, but an interesting use of Star Trek (Original Series, TNG, Voyager) to explain and explore the more interesting aspects of quantum physics, string theory and just the ramifications of sub- and super-light speed and warping of space.
The author doesn't unduly slag the writers of Star Trek and credits them often for proper use of technological jargon, or the realization of some of the problems they would face in their tech (e.g. transporters, acceleration to warp or even impulse power, power levels needed to do virtually anything...).
