ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers tells the story of Sibling Dex, a tea monk who feels unfulfilled by their work and embarks on a journey to a remote hermitage. Their quest for meaning leads them to encounter Mosscap, a robot, marking the first contact between humans and robots in centuries. Mosscap's mission is to understand human needs, which sparks a dialogue between the two characters about the nature of purpose, consciousness, and the relationship between humans and nature. As they travel together, Dex and Mosscap challenge each other’s perspectives and learn from one another. The book explores themes of finding meaning in a world that seems to have no inherent purpose, and also explores the importance of comfort and connection.
