A Psalm for the Wild-Built
By Becky Chambers
Harry Hartog's review
It’s rare to find a utopian story that is genuinely uplifting and heart-warming with no hidden knives or dystopian twists. This book is like a warm cup of tea for the soul, a kind look at unlikely friendships, and a wholesome affirmation that life’s worth all its smallness and grandness. - Maddi, Harry Hartog Maroochydore
Description
In A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Hugo Award-winner Becky Chambers's delightful new Monk & Robot series gives us hope for the future.
It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend.
One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered.
But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.
They're going to need to ask it a lot.
Becky Chambers's new series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter?
