A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

If you believe the power of words can create worlds; new worlds that see us living past this era of destruction and decline, then here is a story to warm your heart. Here is the story of a friendship between monk and robot. When their paths cross, a quest begins that sees them shape a new friendship, new perspectives on life, and analyse the meaning of purpose - whether human or robot - and how to shape their days based on that belief.

Chambers beautifully foretells a future that is shaped after their world pulls back from the brink of disaster to make the necessary changes for survival. And while this sees humans and robots peacefully choose to live apart, Dex and Mooscap do find each other and begin a new era of understanding.

It’s funny and deeply thoughtful.

Enjoy the magic!

Big love,
