The tea monk Sibling Dex roams the forested moon Panga, offering the right blend of teas to world-weary visitors seeking to unload their troubles or enjoy a few quiet minutes.

As they learn more about the ways in which robots imagined their place in the world and their relationships to each other in the years after their liberation, Dex comes to understand that purpose can emerge from simply being in the world and finding one’s own happiness, and that striving to create and fulfill a set purpose can become a distraction and lead to anger and frustration.īy Shae Davidson Reading Becky Chambers’ beautiful, slender novella, A Psalm for the Wild-Built took longer than I’d expected. |
