Becky Chambers' A Psalm for the Wild-Built
So this is the start of a new series from Chambers, the Monk and Robot series, and yet somehow I was surprised it involves a monk and a robot! (They’re both great.) In this world, it’s the far future, and robots gained consciousness and were like, we're not into these robot lives, and took themselves off into the wilderness, never to be seen again. The monk (non-binary) is on a quest to find themself and inevitably encounters a robot, who is going out on behalf of its people to see what humans are up to these days. This book has a chill vibe and it highly recommended if you are looking for books with a chill vibe, books where characters have discussions about nature and philosophy, and books where a monk teaches a robot how to cook onions. I look forward to more of their adventures (and hope we get more info on their religion, which is super interesting). Honestly, my only complaint is that I did want more! A/A-.
