I was also thinking of “Dagger of the Mind.” When Kirk tries to reassure McCoy that the colony is more like a resort, he replies “A cage is a cage, Jim.” Always thought that was interesting, indicating McCoy is essentially a prison abolitionist, though not indicating that that is the dominant view that has won out in the federation.
This is the one I was thinking of: https://imgflip.com/memegenerator/315894489/Star-Trek-Riker-Confused-In-Hallway
I actually like it too! Though it does get stuck in your head! I agree, I like the concept of the opening sequence portraying human advancement and the desire to explore, facilitated by cooperation. (I thought SNW did a good job of capturing that feeling, among the new treks.)

It is the only Trek book I’ve read, and I also read it bc I love Garak and Robinson’s portrayal. I thought it was very good. When I started it I was kind of like…well we will find out if Robinson can write as well as act…and I didn’t really know what to expect. But good news, he can! It’s a great and fitting tribute to/extension of the character.
