On another subject, I mourn the missed opportunity that came with writing the synthetics to have identical emotional makeups and problems to the squishies.
John Campbell challenged sf writers "Give me something that thinks as well as a man, but not like a man!". It would have been fascinating to read about entities that feel as deeply as humans but in a clearly different way.
On the other hand, that would make it an sf comic rather than a relationships comic.

Science fiction has always been about exploring human nature, who we are as a species and the values we hold dear. In looking at the seemingly unknown, we learn far more about ourselves.
