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?

Ihanaa fiilistelyä

5 izar

Tässäpä hämmentävä kirja. En tiedä tapahtuiko tässä paljoa mitään, ja samaan aikaa siinä tapahtui vaikka mitä, rivien välissä. Asioita kuvailtiin niin viehkeästi ja osuvasti, että useassa kohtaa tuli sellainen "wow, just tämmöseltä se tuntuu" -olo. Nyt odotan kovasti jatko-osaa saapumista luettavaksi!

Toisinaan ihmiselämässä tulee vastaan hetki, kun on ehdottoman välttämätöntä painua kaupungista helvettiin.

Sisarus Dex jättää turvallisen ja tasaisen elämänsä kaupungissa taakseen ja tekee uranvaihdoksen. Hän ryhtyy kiertäväksi teemestariksi, vailla mitään koulutusta tai kokemusta. Helppo hommahan se on: sen kun kiertelee ympäriinsä, laittaa ihmisille teetä ja kuuntelee heidän huoliaan. Alkuvaikeuksien jälkeen Dexistä tuleekin oikein oiva teemestari – mutta entä kun hänet liikkeelle ajanut tyytymättömyys ei poistukaan?Isoin järkytys kuitenkin koittaa, kun Dex kohtaa robotin. Robotit sinänsä eivät ole aivan odottamattomia: vuosisatoja sitten robotteja käytettiin teollisuudessa laajasti, mutta sitten ne tulivat yllättäen tietoisiksi, lopettivat työnteon ja poistuivat villiin luontoon. Sen jälkeen robotteja ei ole nähty, ja niistä on tullut likimain satuolentoja.Dex kuitenkin kohtaa robotin, joka on tuttavallinen, innokas ja utelias – robotitkaan eivät tiedä ihmisistä enää kovin paljon. Dexillä ja robotilla on paljon opittavaa toisistaan, ja ehkäpä Dex voi robotin avulla oppia jotain itsestäänkin. Veisu luonnonkoneille on Munkki ja robotti -duologian avausosa, joten …

A warm cuddle in a wicked scary world

5 izar

As other reviewers have already said: it is a truly gentle, hopeful, beautiful story about connection and self discovery and communication. It's got a post capitalist, solarpunk vibe of a world I'd love to inhabit, an appreciation for little pleasures and little deals, loveable characters, and it's also insightful and wise. Plus the main character rides a bicycle as their main form of transportation!

I now want to leave it all and become a wandering tea monk with a bike. That's how perfect this book is. Loved it.

The most healing book I've read

5 izar

I can see now why this is a genre defining book, not because it has a solarpunk setting, but because, by existing, it is bringing those ideals and feelings into the real world. This book is a much needed respite for anyone feeling restless, tired or adrift. If you are trying to read something but don't have the effort, this is the book you are looking for

Heart-warming utopian future

4 izar

Utopian futures are not usually my thing (dystopia any day), but this was thoughtfully crafted and heart-warmimg so I enjoyed it. The only thing that bothered me a little was the gender pronoun usage. The main character is referred to as "they" throughout, which of course is fine but a little distracting for me.

Review of 'A Psalm for the Wild-Built' on 'Goodreads'

3 izar

I wanted to read this because I had heard about this genre of “hope punk” or “cozy punk,” and I was curious. As I expected, there was no real conflict, or any jeopardy or much in the way of stakes. But this is what the genre is about, giving a break from the catastrophe that is our current world, so on that count, I would give it a high score, but I prefer novels with more at stake and more conflict. But I can see how many who are very stressed in everyday life and stressed about the planet and technology might take comfort in this sort of a book (not that I’m not stressed about these things, but I guess I’m used to higher level of stress). I don’t expect to continue with the series, but who knows?

Feels like a warm embrace

5 izar

This novella felt like a warm embrace. It's cozy, cute and light. A traveling tea monk exploring the world coming in contact with a conscious robot. Robots were long forgotten by humanity, having fled to the wilderness to live their own lives. I loved the discussions about life purpose and consciousness. It made me want to continue reading the next one.

A hopeful vision of the future

5 izar

It's easy to find dystopian science fiction. It's harder to find science fiction that provides a positive image of the future. It's not a blueprint, but you get the sense of a robust society that has overcome its most self-destructive tendencies. Very on-brand (in a good way!) for the author; if you've enjoyed her other books you will enjoy this one as well.
