San Francisco, CA – CNET Magazine, the quarterly publication from the world’s leading source of technology news and reviews, features Zoe Saldana on the cover of its summer issue, which hits newsstands today.
Saldana, who is set to make her third appearance as communications officer Lt. Nyota Uhura in this summer’s Star Trek Beyond movie, shares her thoughts with CNET about how she finds acting in sci-fi movies empowering, wishing she used technology more and dreaming of the day when she can travel by transporter.
“If I wasn’t doing these sci-fi movies, I would be at the mercy of filmmakers that would just look my way if they needed a girlfriend or sexy woman of color in their movie,” says Saldana, who took time out from filming the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy to talk to CNET. “Space is different…but we can still do better. We can still give women more weight to carry in their roles.”
Just in time for the busy summer travel season, the new issue also takes a closer look at technology’s impact on travel by offering readers tips and advice on better, easier and more fun ways to get from point A to point B. CNET editors take a ride on electric scooters, skateboards and hovercrafts for commuters looking to speed up their daily grinds. For readers traveling overseas, CNET offers the best apps and tech tips for finding places to eat, what to see and how to speak the local language. And for readers looking for that ultimate speed rush, CNET takes a look at the hyperloop, Elon Musk’s latest vision at upending transportation, that promises to go from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 35 minutes.
