Abstract

The article explores the unexpected collaboration between Frank S. Meyer, a senior editor at National Review (NR), and Theodore Sturgeon, a prominent scriptwriter for Star Trek. It details their friendship, which was marked by contrasting political views and a shared passion for science fiction, despite the challenges posed by their respective communities. Sturgeon contributed significantly to NR by reviewing science fiction literature, while Meyer, with a complex background in anti-communism, influenced conservative thought. Their relationship faced strains due to editorial conflicts at NR, leading to Sturgeon's eventual departure from the publication, although he maintained his friendship with Meyer until the latter's death.
