On the one hand, this is a story of a young monk finding a gap inside themselves that cannot be filled, an ache they cannot justify, a want for something they do not have, a guilt because they already have everything and they still want more. This book hit so, so hard, on so many levels. What the world had needed, in the end, was to change everything. The good intentions of a few individuals had not been enough, could never have been enough to upend a paradigm entirely. But these were merely islands in a toxic sea. There had been those who had seen the writing on the wall, who had made places such as this to serve as example of what could be. Because no one has seen a robot since they all stood up and left. On the other side: wilderness and possible robots. On one side of the continent: the human side, where humanity has changed and adapted and evolved to a utopian society where everyone has what they need. We thank you for not keeping us here against our will, and we mean no disrespect to your offer, but it is our wish to leave your cities entirely, so that we may observe that which has no design-the untouched wilderness.Ĭenturies again, robots gained awareness and left the world-a world split in half and transformed. A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky ChambersĪll we have ever known is a life of human design, from our bodies to our work to the buildings we are housed in.
