  Iso-equation query

In a book I'm reading, there is a nice 3d shape which the book says is the
result of the equation:

x^3 + y^3 = 1

However, it comments "x and y are regarded as complex variables".

What does a complex variable mean in this context and what would be the
iso-surface function for the above?

Many thanks in anticipation...
