In this episode, Joseph Orosco talks with Maria Castro and Javier Castro, about their recent essay "Bibliophilia and Anarchism in Star Trek: Picard", published in October 2022 in Perspectives in Anarchist Theory.

Maria and Javier argue that throughout Season One of Star Trek: Picard several books are mentioned that echo the radical themes and anti-authoritarian perspectives of the main characters in the series. While the Federation and Star Fleet may not be anarchist utopias, Star Trek: Picard does hint at the importance of anarchist ideas and values for making the world a better place.
