== Summary ==
;From the back cover
:Over the first eight decades of his life, George Takei went from seeing the world through barbed wire fences as an incarcerated Japanese American at Tule Lake, to starring as one of the first regular Asian American characters on TV in a show that broke boundaries of color and representation, to helping reshape society through his activism and civic leadership – including redefining the very nature of the institution of marriage with his advocacy of LGBT marriage equality – before developing the first Broadway musical created, directed by and starring Asian Americans, and then emerging with an unexpected new chapter in life as one of the most beloved and influential personalities on the burgeoning landscape of social media.
:Published as a companion to the Japanese American National Museums exhibition of the same name, New Frontiers uses Takei's incredible journey as a launching pad for the imaginations of a breathtaking array of diverse creators – Asian, black, Hispanic and Native American; lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans – telling original stories about incarceration and exclusion, representation and resistance, the digital world and the struggle in the streets.
