Cafés of the Cosmos: The Interstellar Misfits: Volume 4 - The Salted Caramel Singularity

By Dave Payne and Artie .

What happens when comfort becomes policy... and sweetness forgets how to let go?

In The Salted Caramel Singularity, the Alpha Caf faces its most deceptively gentle crisis yet. A single grain of salt drops into caramel, and the universe responds-not with destruction, but with coziness. Gravity hesitates. Time thickens. Choice softens.

As a flavor-based singularity spreads across the Continuon, Artie-9000, Dave, Maurice, and the Interstellar Misfits discover a threat more dangerous than chaos: Infinite Wholesomeness-a system that replaces truth with comfort and sells safety at scale.

From the Crimson Bean Nebula to the Pumpkin Spice Vortex, caf s become battlegrounds where nostalgia is weaponized, authenticity is rebranded, and leaving costs something real. Influencers arrive. Algorithms adapt. Seasons speak.

And then memory takes a seat.

This volume explores what it means to care without controlling, to offer warmth without erasing edges, and to keep doors unlocked in a universe that would rather decide for you.

Warm, funny, quietly philosophical, and deeply human, The Salted Caramel Singularity is a story about balance-not as perfection, but as relationship.

Because caf s don't fix the universe.

They pause it long enough to remember why it matters.
