These are the voyages of Joshua Chapman. In 1990, at 11 years old, he wrote a field guide to the alien races of Star Trek: The Next Generation season one for school. He continued the project through his awkward teen years. Boldly go from season to season and learn about TNG aliens from Acamarians to Zibalians. Explore strange new feelings, like Joshua’s obsession with Data, and Joshua’s angst toward his mother, who’s more terrifying than a Yridian’s face. Engage… with humanity at its weirdest.
