A Picard Easter egg
by ericlippert from Fabulous adventures in coding on (#4YBZJ)
While watching the first episode of the new Star Trek series just now I noticed a nice little Easter egg:
Admiral Picard (retired) apparently has the same 1982 science fiction book club edition of The Complete Robot handy on his desk as I have on mine:
though frankly, his copy seems to be in better shape than mine.
Anyone know what the book below it is?
UPDATE: My friend Brian R has identified a likely candidate for the second book. It appears to be the Easton Press edition of The Three Musketeers:
UPDATE: Later episodes of the series confirm these hypotheses; apparently these were not so much Easter eggs as subtle foreshadowing.
