\nThis month we will be discussing a series of two novel las by Becky Chambers: \;A Psalm for the Wild-Built \;and \;A Prayer for the Crown-Shy.
\n"Becky Chambers' delig htful\, post-Utopian\, Hugo Award-winning series gives us hope for the fut ure. \; It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awar eness and laid down their tools\; centuries since they wandered\, en masse \, into the wilderness\, never to be seen again\; centuries since they fad ed 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 ho w. 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?"< /p>\n
