I guess Lem’s cafe is in honour of Stanislav Lem, who wrote The Cyberiad, a wacky but wonderful robot sci-fi book

Just started reading today, really enjoying it. Nice artwork and the feels when they finally got together totally hit the mark. Looking forward to how it progresses. I just wanted to ask wether the coffeeshop, Lem’s, was a homage to Lem the sci-fi author?

I’m guessing that by ‘safe’ Sulla means just that Al has nothing to be afraid of. Also, is it named after Stanisław Lem? Nice!

In reply to Emeric. Safe: She means that its a cafe with other people just like them in there. Its not a big secret so they can talk about AI in there without any humans getting weirded out. Im sure there are humans that arent to keen on the whole robot thing.

In reply to davysperbs. "Let me be clear" Davysperbs. Did you mean bold robot or bald robot?

I wonder what Stella means by it being ‘safe’ there? The employees are both clearly robotic and there’s another such person reading a book in the corner. To me, that line reads with the implication that sometimes the city isn’t safe for artificial life, that maybe there’s animosity or hate crime, or something. But we know the business is booming and there seems to be an even mix of natural and artificial life walking around; one would think it’s a non-issue.

Then again, all of this has happened within the last 17 years, which is pretty quick, so maybe part of the population feels threatened? That line of Stella’s just seems important to me.

In reply to masic88. it doesn't seem very bold to me... it looks away as soon as Al notices it, after all.
