“A Psalm for the Wild-Built” is a science fiction novel written by Becky Chambers. The protagonist, Sibling Dex, is a tea monk who becomes disillusioned with their existence and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, Dex encounters a robot named Mosscap who also seeks answers about life and purpose. Together, they explore the wilderness and contemplate the meaning of existence, forming a deep bond along the way. The novel explores themes of identity, spirituality, and the relationship between humanity and nature. Becky Chambers is known for her compassionate and character-driven storytelling, and “A Psalm for the Wild-Built” is no exception.
