![]() ![]() ![]() I just need to look at the existing world for my dose of darkness. Becky Chambers' A Psalm for the Wild-Built beginning a new series called 'Monk and Robot' strikes me as especially relevant to such discussions. There is a lot of dark and hard sci-fi around which I don’t enjoy. But personally I feel we need books like that. ![]() That being said, the Goodreads summary is a bit misleading, and it doesn’t match the summary inside the book cover. A Psalm for the Wild-Built Becky Chambers (Author) FORMAT Hardcover 20.99 19.52 Available add to cart add to wishlist Description Winner of the Hugo Award In A Psalm for the Wild-Built, bestselling Becky Chamberss delightful new Monk and Robot series, gives us hope for the future. There was a top Goodreads review that criticised it for utopian-like world without explaining how it solved all its issues. A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a short, interesting sci-fi novella with a non-binary main character and robots that somehow manages to be equal parts bucolic, snarky, thought-provoking, and introspective. Sometimes I just want to freeze my brain and read something that would make me hate the world less. It was one of the most soothing books I’ve read in recent times. I thought it was quite an interesting title – there was a line on the cover that says “A monk and robot book”, and I was immediately sold. Someone on reddit asked for: “A book that tells you that your life doesn’t need a purpose, or a grand ambition and that it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things to do until you die” on r/suggestmeabook, and I saw that quite a few people recommended “ A Psalm for the Wild-Built” by Becky Chambers. ![]()
