À propos de cet audio

"Narrator Emmett Grosland conjures the essence of a troubled soul in search of peace in this gentle audio."—AudioFile Magazine

In A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Hugo Award-winner 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?

What a delightful read!
Becky Chambers’ anthropological outlook always amazes me. She has such a keen eye for the nuances of homo sapien life and is incredible at gently poking them in her stories.

Incredible story

I’m reluctant to call this book Sci fi, though it clearly is. It simply wears too many of the clothes of fantasy, but they mess very well into the world that Chambers has built.

So often I find Sci fi is laser focused on storytelling through dystopia. What drama would grow from X calamity, or Y terrible event. It is very enjoyable to instead read Sci fi which explores its characters and concepts through the drama that arises instead from Utopia. It was excellent to read such an emotional, human and uplifting story set in a post-climate change, post-capitalism, post-singularity world. Where struggle and strife from those events clearly existed, but where the story is simply not interested in wallowing in its grim foretelling.

I think most of all it was very very heartwarming and enjoyable to read a story from someone who has looked to the future and seen promise instead of disaster.

An excellent trip into explorative Sci-fantasy

Wonderful

Not all that much happens, and that's just fine. This is a wonderful thought piece with a great deal of depth and meaningful content. A quiet philosophical treatise.
