About this book
<b>Becky Chambers' delightful, post-Utopian, Hugo Award-winning series gives us hope for the future.</b><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.<br />They're going to need to ask it a lot.<br /><br />Becky Chambers' series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter?<br /><br />This book includes both A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy in paperback for the first time!
