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?
