I thought this was an interesting read. You can see that the seeds of what would become Star Trek were already growing.
Also, despite the name “Transporter” sounding familiar, his description of it is closer to a holodeck. It “transports” the user to different scenarios. Wild.
The second paragraph reads a lot like what would end up becoming the Talosians in the cage, although the device sounds like the neural interface they had on the Equinox, in place of the Holodeck.
“Or lay Marilyn Monroe”. Missed that in Star Trek…
They must have completely rewritten the script to get Jason Statham on board.
It unreasonably annoys me that he wrote “television, smellevision, soundevision” and not television, telesmell, telesound"
