"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?

      Narrator Emmett Grosland conjures the essence of a troubled soul in search of peace in this gentle audio. Tea monk Dex has devoted years of their life to easing the burdens of others while struggling to find their own greater purpose. A chance encounter with a robot named Mosscap sets both monk and robot on a journey of discovery about what people need. But the interplay of voices for both Dex and Mosscap is delightful, as both characters are impulsive and emotive. And Grosland keeps the listener aware of who is speaking through subtle shifts in pitch and style, even when the pair are arguing at top speed. N.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
