In reply to Abby. The best speculative fiction is that which helps us find our own humanity.

In reply to JJ. Huh, I just realized that the only time Al flew was to accelerate his fall, and that is a metaphor related to how Sulla’s flight is tied to her freedom from gender dysphoria. I’m not quite sure how to unpack what this means, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out with future rereads. Nevertheless, it is indeed absolutely adorable.

“I don’t want my child to be burdened by my demons. How can I keep from passing on my trauma to her?” I just really love how the ramifications of artificial intelligence and synthetic beings keep leading back to different perspectives on how we build and shape each other as humans.

“your only limitations are the ones you refuse to step beyond” is quite thematic. i think

Whoa… the multitool has blue, red, *and* green in it. It’s been such an intimate part of Al’s, Brendan’s, and Sulla’s stories, and it shows.

In reply to Queshire. I dunno, he might be talking about poking around in there and removing the residue that led to her having dreams about Al, like the time she took him aside and asked if anyone hit him before since she dreamed about him bleeding. She doesn't have a lot of Al's memories, but she seems to have some of them buried in her subconscious, and removing those without damaging her personality would be difficult and risky if it's even possible, so it makes sense for Al to ask

In reply to Aletheia. I dunno, an organic mind suddenly finding itself in an inorganic body might cause a hell of a dysphoria.

Tsade’s reaction to Al kind of reminds me of Glinda from the end of the Wizard of Oz telling Dorothy she had the power to return to Kansas any time she wanted to.
