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?

Warum muss Becky Chambers einen jedes Mal fast zum Heulen bringen?

Ein sehr schönes Buch!

Ich finde das das Buch einen sehr zum Nachdenken erregt. *Warum sind denken wir das wir nicht genug sind?* Das ist die Frage, um die es in dem Buch geht und die geklärt wird. Die Autorin hat einen sehr tollen Schreibstil und es ist ein sehr verständliches Englisch

This is very cozy and optimistic for a book that is very much about feeling down. It's a comfortable reflection on human nature, purpose, motivation and kindness. I wished it was longer just to get into the world and the ideas more, but I guess it's not really the point. It's an experience of spending time and empathizing. Also, if you like nature and forest settings, you will feel very much at home here.

"We don't have to fall into the same category to be of equal value."

Was für ein absolut schönes, perfektes kleines Buch. Das Konzept ist so interessant! Eine Zivilisation, in der Roboter ein Bewusstsein erlangt, sich von den Menschen getrennt haben und nun in der Wildness leben. Und Menschen, die ihre komplette Lebensweise umgekrempelt haben. Es ist so spannend und irgendwie herzerwärmend, zu sehen, wie Dex und Mosscap voneinander lernen. Was macht Roboter aus und wie leben sie? Was macht Menschen aus, was wollen Menschen? Und vorallem, was ist ihr Sinn im Leben, auf der Welt? Eine Findungsreise zwischen Roboter und Mensch. Sehr zu empfehlen! Ich freue mich den zweiten Teil zu lesen. Definitiv ein weiteres Jahreshighlight für mich.

A short story about the meaning of life and feeling guilty about not being satisfied even though one has everything they could wish for. Some passages really hit hard and left me ponder about the need for purpose in life. I can highly recommend this book!

„You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don't know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don't need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.“ Eine Ode daran, dass es in Ordnung ist, einfach zu sein und zu leben, ohne immer etwas „leisten“ zu müssen. Ein schöner Weckruf, sich selbst genug zu sein.

I loved this book so much! It is cozy, inspiring and just perfect to enjoy with a cup of tea. I also really enjoyed the setting, it felt kinda melancholic but in a good way (maybe I am just saying that because I like these kinds of settings that have that kind of nostalgic and melancholic feel but if that is also your cup of tea then you know ^^) If you like nature and forest settings you will also feel very much at home here. The Story is incredibly optimistic. As someone who has struggled with some of the same things mentioned in the book, it was a delight to read, to find out how Dex was going to deal with them. I also enjoyed these almost philosophical reflections on human nature, purpose, motivation, kindness… there is a lot in here that will make you think and reflect on yourself and people around you. I‘m not gonna lie, while I smiled through almost all dialogues between Dex and Mosscap, I teared up a bit on the last page and I immediately ordered the second book. All in all this book might become my ultimate comfort read!

very cozy and feel-good quick read

This book got me giggling & kicking my feet for a robot. It's got wholesome characters who go on a journey to get to know the world and themselves. The book is full of deep thoughts without feeling heavy or difficult to read.

"I think there’s something beautiful about being lucky enough to witness a thing on its way out." 🌱

Such a feelgood cozy book, set in a ecoconcious scifi setting. I would categorize this as solarpunk ☀️🌿 The story of the monk and the robot shows two different "species" meeting each other and bonding over philosophical questions. While they both learn about each others existance and living-traditions, they form a cute bond. 💚 Since i read this in a rush to be able to talk about it in bookclub, i think i was not able to experience the whole thing as one should. If you want to read this and enjoy it - go get a cup of tea and loads of time and let the story steep in your soul. 🍵 Apart from early struggles to get in, after page 20 it's smooth sailing and i recommend this book to anyone who wants to be transported to another world! 4.5/5 🌟
