one thing we find to be a bit strange is the lack of Star Trek in the alterhuman community despite the popularity of the show and the influence the fandom has had on internet culture. Our hypothesis is that this is not because the community is too small but rather that it is too big, and that a star trek non-human community does exist, it just exists independent of the alterhuman community. We would like to do further research into this one day, however right now all we have is a brief and patchy history of early mentions of star trek alterhumanity or similar experiences.
