Em Salmo para um robô peregrino, o primeiro livro da nova série Monge e o Robô, Becky Chambers, vencedora do Prêmio Hugo, apresenta uma visão otimista para um mundo cada vez mais distópico Passaram-se séculos desde que os robôs de Panga ganharam autoconsciência e abandonaram as fábricas; séculos desde que peregrinaram para a vastidão selvagem e nunca mais foram vistos; séculos desde que desvaneceram em mitos e lendas urbanas. Um dia, a vida de Dex, um monge de chá com sentimentos de incompletude e insatisfação, é perturbada pela repentina chegada de um robô que veio para honrar uma velha promessa de checar como os humanos estão. Esse robô não pode voltar até que uma questão essencial seja respondida: “De que os humanos precisam?” Mas a resposta para essa pergunta depende muito de quem pergunta, e como. Assim, dois aliados improváveis partem em uma jornada filosófica sobre propósito, anseios e pertencimento. …

Sleight book on weighty themes

First a disclaimer: at this point I think a Becky Chambers book would have to be pretty terrible to get a bad review from me.

This is very clearly a novella, and continues Chamber's trend away from plot driven fiction as seen in the later Wayfarer books. So, not much happens, but deep themes are explored.

The solarpunk aspect has been remarked elsewhere, but I didn't expect was how much it seemed like a reflection on the (privileged) human condition. As a fellow privileged human, I recognized some of Sibling Dex's disquiet.

reviewed A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers (Monk & Robot, #1)

Humane sci-fi. With robots.

There isn’t much I can add to loppear@bookwyrm.social’s review; once again, Chambers is simply wonderful. Here, she is running with the wholesome if slightly insipid promise for the future Solarpunk holds to explore human condition and (not entirely incidentally, I suspect) thumb a very long nose at the whole “machine uprising” crowd. I don’t know how someone can be so relentlessly, melancholically upbeat, but I do know I had to finish this before work, and that I had a little happy cry when I did.
