Star Trek is full of heroes – principled idealists like James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, Spock and Will Riker. But Starfleet just wouldn’t be the same without some bad guys to keep things interesting.

Scott Fitzgerald’s imagination. It turns out that, far from accumulating vast stores of wealth, Jay Gatsby might have been spending beyond his means.
