![]() ![]() ![]() Readers will find a lot to love in this touching buddy dramedy, including its well-developed setting and clever take on robot sentience. Along the way, the pair learn about each other and tackle various misconceptions about both robots and humans.Īuthor Becky Chambers has crafted an endearing, optimistic, and often humorous world in A Psalm for the Wild-Built. After getting over the shock of their chance encounter, the two become unlikely friends and travel together to Dex’s destination. At a loss, and on something of a whim, Dex decides the answer lies in the wilderness.ĭex’s pilgrimage coincides with the reemergence of a single robot, a representative named Mosscap, who aims to check in on the world robots left behind and determine what humanity needs. Meeting and helping new people didn’t help. To put it in Dex’s own words, so hollow and tired. Humans learned to get along without the robots, and they’ve become almost a legend. Humans asked them to stay, but the robots said no, thanks, and headed off into the wilderness. Perhaps we’ve all been there at one time or another: You look around at all your stuff, your comfortable job, your friends, your supportive family, and you wonder why you feel so unsatisfied. Hundreds of years prior, the robots humans had invented gained sentience, and wanted to leave and experience the world. In the world of Panga, many years after factory robots became sentient and took off for the wilderness (leaving humanity in a post-expansion, solar-dependent society), a young tea monk named Dex struggles to find purpose. ![]()
