Example
More examples"It is the 1st of October of 2016. Like many Trekkers, I define wealth differently from other people. Star Trek defines what is being rich. Being rich for me is about living in the future, perhaps with a likeable occupation with Starfleet, as I could be an astrobiologist or exobiologist. There would be recreation time on the holodeck. Or there would be real vacation on the pleasure planet Risa. I could have any food or drink I would want, simply by ordering the food replicator. Being rich is something different for us Trekkers."
Etymology
From holo- + deck, coined in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
