To me, the greatest sense of wonder I experience from Star Trek comes not from the warp drive, the stars, new life and new civilizations, but from its depiction of an uncompromisingly humanist, galaxy-spanning utopian society. It is that very same sense of wonder about our potential for social and economic improvement that got me into science-fiction in the first place.
