Psalm for the Wild-Built

Winner of the Hugo Award! In A Psalm for the Wild-Built, bestselling Becky Chambers's delightful new Monk and 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?
