We're joined by Manu Saadia to talk about his FANTASTIC new book Trekonomics: The Economics of Star Trek. We talk about post-scarcity, nerd culture, and--as always--robots!

You can follow Manu on twitter at @trekonomics, and you can find your own copy of the book here: https://www.inkshares.com/books/trekonomics

POINT OF CORRECTION: At one point Adam mentioned that "his captain" would always be Scott Baio. He was met with confusion and pity laughter. Adam meant Scott Bakula. Shame him.
