Publisher Description

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?

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“I described this book as a friend snuggling up along side me and giving me a hug. My spouse read it and then looked at me with wide eyes while saying, how was this book comforting to you when it was about a character’s existential crisis and belonging in the world?! And I realized it’s because Becky Chambers creates such a realistic and beautiful fictional world that I was walking with Sibling Dex the whole way. And I took my real life feelings in to experience this crisis of purpose together.”
