#WritersCoffeeClub June 2: What do you hope sticks with a reader long after?
Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe the idea that people are people, no matter what they look like. You have plenty of alien races and while they each have their own quirks, it's clear that there's enough in common to mostly get along. And the crew as intelligent robots are the same way, made with real emotions, able to opine on the nature of the soul as people with their own flaws.
I think, honestly, that "like us" shouldn't have to mean "*exactly* like us" to qualify, just "meaningfully like us." Sentient, sapient, thinking, feeling beings.
